Required Troubleshooting Steps

• I have read and performed the troubleshooting steps
• I have tried both values of the remote.SSH.useLocalServer setting
• My issue was not covered in the Tips and Tricks linked from the Troubleshooting Wiki.
• I will include a complete copy of my Remote - SSH logs by running Remote-SSH: Show Log in the command palette or from View > Output in the menu bar

[Optional] Diagnose with Copilot

I did not ask the @remote-ssh participant for help

In step 2 of the troubleshooting wiki, what was the result of running the generated SSH command verbatim outside of VS Code?

Same issue with this one: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/7486, and the reason and solution is https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/7486#issuecomment-2183139998.

Seems like the VSCode WSL extension cannot work with the config networkingMode=mirrored in ~/.wslconfig.

---

My Env:

• Host: win 11 23h2
• wsl: Ubuntu-24.04, Linux 5.15.167.4-microsoft-standard-WSL2 #1 SMP Tue Nov 5 00:21:55 UTC 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
• ~/.wslconfig in host:

    [wsl2]
    processors=12
    memory=16GB
    swap=8GB
    
    networkingMode=mirrored
    autoProxy=true
    dnsTunneling=true
  

• /etc/wsl.conf in wsl:

  [boot]
  systemd=true
  
  [automount]
  options="metadata,dmask=0022,fmask=0133"
  

• VSCode v1.91.1, installed in host
• WSL extension v0.88.5

Expected Behavior

With setting networkingMode=mirrored in ~/.wslconfig in host, VSCode still can be run in wsl code . to open a folder in wsl, opening remote successfully.

Actual Behavior

after running code ., vscode stuck with opening remote
