Permanent WSL DNS Fix (WSL 2.2.1+)

If you're encountering ping github.com failing inside WSL with a Temporary failure in name resolution, you're not alone — this has been a long-standing issue, especially when using VPNs or corporate networks.

This issue is now fixed robustly with DNS tunneling, which preserves dynamic DNS behavior and avoids limitations like WSL’s former hard cap of 3 DNS servers in /etc/resolv.conf.

DNS tunneling is enabled by default in WSL version 2.2.1 and later, meaning that if you're still seeing DNS resolution issues, the first and most effective fix is simply to upgrade WSL. Upgrading WSL updates the WSL platform itself, but does not affect your installed Linux distributions, apps, or files.

To upgrade WSL, follow these steps,

toggle-airport

Code for disabling Wi-Fi when docking (connecting an ethernet adapter) and enabling Wi-Fi when disconnecting from ethernet.

I am using MacBook Pro 15'' with macOS Catalina.

Quick start

Put toggleAirport.sh in the correct location with the right permissions (see comment at the top of the file)
Put com.mine.toggleairport.plist in the correct location with the right permissions (see comment at the top of the file)
