How to access domain url inside WSL
I use WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) for my application development. When I run my application inside WSL, I can access it from the Windows browser using: http://localhost:4000 This works perfectly without any issues. However, when I try to open the domain-based URL like: http://abc.localtest.me:4000 it does not open in the Windows browser. How I Solved This To fix this issue, I decided to install and run Firefox directly inside WSL . Since I’m using Windows 11 with WSLg enabled , GUI applications from WSL can open directly on the Windows desktop without any extra configuration. Step 1: Install Firefox in WSL Open your WSL terminal (Ubuntu or any other distro you’re using) and run: sudo apt update sudo apt install firefox -y Step 2: Launch Firefox After installation, simply run: firefox Now you can see the firefox will open with linux icon In firefox browser you can open the domain url of WSL. Thank you!!
