wsl is a vm and for local develop, if need remote connet need other setting, if need remote access, I usually use linux(ubuntu or debian), and you can use ssh to connect to it when you are at local environment, use below command to get the ip address
ip -c a
and you will get an ip like 174.xxx.xxx.xxx, then you can use ssh to connect to it
