Today I found that ping from WSL2 to host machine gave me a “100% packet loss”.

ping $(hostip)

Refer to hostip in #8.

As microsoft/WSL#4139 and microsoft/WSL#4585 saying, Windows Defender Firewall is blocking access from WSL2, so I need to disable that.

Well, it’s pretty better than running some scripts which may not fit the Windows 11 in my laptop.
