1. Create Podman Machine with the following .wslconfig:

[experimental]
autoMemoryReclaim=dropcache
hostAddressLoopback=true
sparseVhd=true
useWindowsDnsCache=true
[wsl2]
dnsTunneling=true

2. Create Kind cluster with Podman-desktop app
3. Try to reach cluster from within Windows host machine

Expected Behavior

Created Kind cluster should be reachable at: https://localhost:<port>/

Actual Behavior

Two types of errors atm, with networkingMode=mirrored being enabled:

• connectex: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
• connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

Diagnostic Logs

No response
