Description
Environment
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19042.685]
Release: 20.04
WSL2
Linux version 4.19.128-microsoft-standard (oe-user@oe-host) (gcc version 8.2.0 (GCC)) #1 SMP Tue Jun 23 12:58:10 UTC 2020
Steps to reproduce
For example, trying to install NVM fails with a timeout error.
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.37.2/install.sh | bash
After further debugging I found that the script just tries to clone the repo using https. I then tried to clone any repo via https and it fails with a timeout error, SSH works perfectly fine.
WSL logs:

Expected behavior
https connections should work and git clone should work without any timeouts.
Actual behavior
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm.git/': Operation timed out after 300038 milliseconds with 0 out of 0 bytes received
Things I've tried:
- Changing MTU
- Reinstalling (brand new Windows and Ubuntu install)
- Disabling IPv6
- Updating Git
- Updating network drivers
