Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)
With Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) you can run a Linux environment on a Windows device, without the need for a separate virtual machine or dual booting. WSL is designed to provide a seamless and productive experience for developers who want to use both Windows and Linux at the same time.

- Hyper-V Firewall is a network firewall solution that enables filtering of inbound and outbound traffic to/from WSL containers hosted by Windows
- DNS Tunneling is a networking setting that improves compatibility in different networking environments, making use of virtualization features to obtain DNS information rather than a networking packet
- Auto proxy is a networking setting that enforces WSL to use Windows' HTTP proxy information. Turn on when using a proxy on Windows, as it makes that proxy automatically apply to WSL distributions
These features can be set up using a device management solution such as Microsoft Intune[7]. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (MDE) integrates with WSL, allowing it to monitor activities within a WSL distro and report them to the MDE dashboards.
