Are you using the new experimental networking features? Can you please share the content of your .wslconfig file?

And is the bug that you're seeing here that you need to restart WSL for the proxy to take effect?

Hi there.
It's possible with some VPNs that the time for Windows to resolve possible proxy servers takes too long - so we startup the WSL container before we know what proxy configurations exist in Windows. Once Windows resolves the proxy server information, if we have already started the WSL container, we will prompt to restart the WSL container.

Once you restart the WSL container, we should correctly set the proxy.
