• Reddit thread
• StackExchange thread

Steps:

• Create /etc/wsl.conf (if it doesn’t already exist)
• Add the following:

[network]
generateResolvConf = false

• Shutdown from powershell (wsl --shutdown), then reopen
• Edit /etc/resolv.conf: nameserver [pi-hole ip]
• Restart subsystem again. Verify /etc/resolv.conf still exists.
• Verify with dig or nslookup
