_Edit: 05/24, I'm able to capture wirshark logs in my WSL Ubuntu distro , But still when wireshark logs are captured through windows hyper-v interface from windows it does not capture all the packets_
* Using WSL2, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.
### Execution steps
* docker image that runs OpenVPN 'access server'.
* I have downloaded .ovpn configurations from access server.
* I have configured admin to run at '127.0.0.1:943'.
* I have installed 'openvpn' through 'apt install'.
* I do 'sudo openvpn .ovpn
>My client connects to server without any issue.
### Expectations
* I'm capturing .pcap files on windows with wireshark application by using 'hyperv' interface.
* There are no packets recorded when I perform the scenario (connection process).
* Same behavior is observed when using to capture .pcap logs using tcpdump in WSL.
I need to learn how OpenVPN works and this is one of the way in which (per my understanding\
till now) that will help me to learn the connection process.
### note:
When I change my client ip to some other ip (which will fail intentionally) I do see 'OpenVPN' packets which fail.

**I want to capture the entire connection process of client connecting to server
(if possible with TLS decoded)
**
