Access server in WSL through Windows network

1. Open a hotspot in Windows

2. Add a proxy in Windows to access WSL deployed apps through Windows localhost

   In powershell execute the following command:

   netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenport=4000 listenaddress=0.0.0.0 connectport=8080 connectaddress=192.168.1.4
   

   • listenport: the port external devices will connect to
   • connectport: the port where our application server is configured to listen inside WSL
   • connectaddress: IP address given to WSL. To get this IP address get inet of eht0 through ifconfig

3. Open port (listenport) in Windows firewall

4. Get the access url to use in devices connected to Windows hotspot ipconfig and get ip address. Example:

   http://192.168.137.1:4000/test
