Can someone elaborate on what exactly is mirrored network mode, under the hood?
- kissgyorgy 3y agowatch the video, it is explained and demo-ed.
- b112 3y agoOne line of text is often so much better than blah blah youtube blah. TLDR always confused me. I'd rather read 10 paragraphs in a minute, than sit through 10 minutes of "hi, I'm Joe X, and this is my blah blah..."
- cebert 3y agoI agree. I much prefer to read than watch a video, especially for technical content.

- commandersaki 3y agoNot sure exactly, but not happy with the non-answers in the thread. From my understanding, mirrored network mode is essentially duplicating the Windows host network interfaces into the WSL2 VM, so that they have the same IPv4 (and IPv6) addresses. This also allows you to seamless access network services between the Host and VM over localhost, and also expose network services (say SSH) over your LAN without futzing around with firewall and port forwarding (as you would have to do previously).
