_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. ![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1915f89d-074b-4070-bd64-274db481f340) **I want to capture the entire connection process of client connecting to server (if possible with TLS decoded)**
