The problem

WSL2 uses a random network from the 172.16.0.0/12 RFC1918 private IP address block. And our VPN uses that address block, too, with a route metric of 1 (= most preferred.)

This breaks networking for WSL2. Meh!

The solution

While messing around with the interface/route metric of the VPN network may work around the problem, it also reduces the priority of the VPN. We do not really want this. Additionally, changing the interface metric does not seem to be permanent, so it requires more work when it breaks again.
