Some advice is found in here and in here. There is also the alpaca project.– harrymcCommented Jul 2, 2021 at 13:12

@harrymc I seem to be unable to connect to the socks5 proxy on my host for some reason. When I run sudo apt-get update it just hangs as [Connecting to 192.168.1.5 (192.168.1.5)]. Any idea why?– VidathDCommented Jul 2, 2021 at 15:17

Have you looked at my links?– harrymcCommented Jul 2, 2021 at 19:01

@harrymc Yes. Before I couldn't even get to wsl to even try to connect to the proxy on 192.168.1.5:80 (192.168.1.5 is the host machine for wsl). Now it tries to connect but hangs. I didn't try the alpaca project. I don't think it is what I am looking for. Both others suggest the same thing basically. Export the http_proxy variable to be 192.168.1.5:1080. It does what it is supposed to but it still doesn't connect to the proxy on host. Like I said in the previous comment, it hangs.– VidathDCommented Jul 3, 2021 at 13:12

I have set the firewall rule to allow all incoming and outgoing traffic on that port. That is actually a socks5 proxy on 192.168.1.5:1080. Does that make a difference?– VidathDCommented Jul 3, 2021 at 13:18

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
