@edwindijas Since then I made a CLI tool called pfwsl inspired by your script. With it you can type pfwsl add 8080 (or multiple: pfwsl add 80,443,22) and it'll add all of the netsh and firewall rules automatically. It's also as easy to disable the forwarding with pfwsl rm or pfwsl rm 443,80.

It has some extra features like finding all firewall rules on specified ports (pfwsl find 8080), listing currently enabled rules (pfwsl ls) etc!
