A way to set/disable port-max-idle-time option about wsl-vpnkit HOT 1 CLOSED

Ok, so I've found that a quick and dirty hack is to just edit the wsl-vpnkit script like so:

wsl.exe -d wsl-vpnkit vi /usr/sbin/wsl-vpnkit

And then find the vpnkit() function and just add the --port-max-idle-time parameter at the end:

vpnkit () {
    echo "starting vpnkit..."
    WIN_PIPE_PATH=$(echo $PIPE_PATH | sed -e "s:/:\\\:g")
    CMD='"$VPNKIT_PATH" \
        --ethernet $WIN_PIPE_PATH \
        --gateway-ip $VPNKIT_GATEWAY_IP \
        --host-ip $VPNKIT_HOST_IP \
        --lowest-ip $VPNKIT_LOWEST_IP \
        --highest-ip $VPNKIT_HIGHEST_IP \
        --port-max-idle-time 43000 \
    '
    if [ "$VPNKIT_DEBUG" ]; then
        CMD="$CMD"' --debug'
    fi
    eval "$CMD"
}

I'm testing how long my X11 session can survive with this. I'm at 15 minutes right now. After 1h I'll assume it "fixed" the problem. (though I'm not really sure why the connection is viewed as "idle" in the first place).

// EDIT: ok, it's been an hour and X11 session is still standing strong. I'm not happy with the hack, but it seems to work and I'll take it, and maybe this will even help someone else.
