TLDR; https://jamespotz.github.io/blog/how-to-fix-wsl2-and-cisco-vpn, but certain internal resources are still not available after doing this (in case u need them re-anyconnect), others are though. toggling the metric priority is key here as well.

This and followup posts (even an automation) probably work as well, haven't tested yet microsoft/WSL#5764 (comment)

Also this could work, not tested yet as I did not check the sources https://wheatevo.com/wsl-2-vpn-routing-fix/

The article on msdn doesn't seem to apply for my case (wsl2, cisco anyconnect vpn)

I have some articles tagged [wsl2, vpn, wsl2-issue] that seem to approximate an automatable fix (microsoft/WSL#1350 (comment) etc.), but one of them really provides a very fast fix serving as the very baseline of all automating: microsoft/WSL#5068 (comment)

Overview

Internet connection and DNS routing are broken from WSL2 instances, when some VPNs are active.

The root cause seems to be that WSL2 and the VPN use the same IP address block, and the VPN routing clobbers WSL2's network routing.

This problem is tracked in multiple microsoft/WSL issues including, but not limited to:

Error

$ sudo apt-get update
Err:1 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal InRelease
Temporary failure in name rerolution

$ host google.com
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

Chmod codes cheat sheet

How to use chmod codes in UNIX:

There are three types of permissions in files and folders in unix
1. Read (r)
2. Write (w)
3. Execute (x)
And, there is a classification of users called UGO (explained bellow):
U ~> User (usually, you)

	# Byte-compiled / optimized / DLL files
	__pycache__/
	*.py[cod]
	*$py.class

	# C extensions
	*.so

	# Distribution / packaging
	.Python

	More recent resolution:

	1. cd ~/../../etc (go to etc folder in WSL).
	2. echo "[network]" \| sudo tee wsl.conf (Create wsl.conf file and add the first line).
	3. echo "generateResolvConf = false" \| sudo tee -a wsl.conf (Append wsl.conf the next line).
	4. wsl --terminate Debian (Terminate WSL in Windows cmd, in case is Ubuntu not Debian).
	5. cd ~/../../etc (go to etc folder in WSL).
	6. sudo rm -Rf resolv.conf (Delete the resolv.conf file).
	7. In windows cmd, ps or terminal with the vpn connected do: Get-NetIPInterface or ipconfig /all for get the dns primary and
	secondary.
