Description

As per #302, which partially fixed #193 and #194, the issue that vpnkit when used in Windows doesn’t process icmp properly (I believe the cause lies more in Windows) I would like to know whether any progress can be expected to solve this?

Docker Desktop for Windows uses vpnkit and traceroute in a Linux container doesn’t work as a result.

The issue names vpnkit, Docker Desktop for Windows, Linux containers, traceroute, and ICMP but no files or tests. Start by reproducing traceroute from a Linux container on Windows and inspect the ICMP handling related to vpnkit; done means traceroute works in that environment.
