Ubuntu/WSL SSH Server Setup Guide | Remote SSH WSL
Want to remote control your Ubuntu WSL, or just access it abroad or over the network? Assuming it’s been started, the OpenSSH server I’ll show you how to set up and configure in this video should be automatically stated as well, meaning you can connect to it and control your Ubuntu WSL from abroad!
Port Forwarding Ubuntu WSL Guide: https://youtu.be/6XIewWXXSNs
Using the above, you can port forward the port you used and access it over the internet! I would recommend setting key based authentication and disabling password authentication first!!
Change port on 22.10+:
sudo mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/ssh.socket.d
[Socket]
ListenStream=
ListenStream=2200
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart ssh

Ahh I was trying to minutes until I realized that I also need the port forwarding you linked in your description. Thank you so much!
nice, but how running in background?
what just happened ??
Does the SSH have to change port out of 22? Is it because the default 22 port is being used for the WSL communication to the windows command prompt?
Wonderful tutorial! Although took me a lot of tries and a lot of because I have low attention span.
New-NetFirewallRule -Name sshd -DisplayName 'OpenSSH Server (sshd) for WSL' -Enabled True -Direction Inbound -Protocol TCP -Action Allow -LocalPort 1156
Does not work
If you are going to use SSH I would recommend creating ssh keys
