Proxy
WSL Proxy​
This is an experimental setting.
Rancher Desktop now allows local, corporate, or VPN proxy server support for Windows users. The implementation can be enabled or disabled through the Proxy tab to capture network traffic and forward it to an http proxy. Once all information has been input, click the Apply button to have changes immediately take effect.
Proxy address​
Users can input their proxy IP address and port number in the Proxy address fields.
Authentication information​
If your proxy requires authentication then users can input their username and password in the Authentication information fields.
No proxy hostname list​
Default hostnames that should not be proxied will be displayed in this text area.
Known Issues​
There is a known issue with using Rancher Desktop and the wsl-vpnkit distribution for WSL. If the distro is installed, Rancher Desktop will be unable to run.
As a workaround while this issue is being investigated, please uninstall the distribution in order to run Rancher Desktop. This can be achieved by the command below in a powershell terminal:
wsl --unregister wsl-vpnkit
Please see this issue thread for further information.
