It was happening in the 0.47 updated to 0.49, still happened, uninstalled and removed the extension, rebooted, and re-installed the extension, and it worked again. ---

Tried this. Not working. I’m on 0.50 and I can’t get it to work. Tried everything. Between all the latest issues I’ve been having with Cursor I might just consider going back to VS Code. Nothing works reliably lately. I also see there’s a new “WSL” extension by Anysphere, but it’s in preview and there’s anything information about it. It also doesn’t work… ---

Hi @empz, happy to take a look – would you be able to share the logs from the “Remote - WSL” output window when using the Anysphere Remote WSL extension? Attaching a screenshot for where to find this. Thanks! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/c/9/c94db85ee402dd323c9a86e57e70c36d14aa2a1a.png) ---

Hi,I’m using cursor version 0.50 and I cannot connect to wsl2. Tried uninstalling all extensions and only installed Anysphere remote wsl, but it still doesn’t work.

Hi @Irunnn, from the logs, it looks like there was a network error when downloading the remote server: > Client network socket disconnected before secure TLS connection was established Are you using a proxy? And can you double check whether downloading the server manually through the link above ([https://cursor.blob.core.windows.net/remote-releases/0781e811de386a0c5bcb07ceb259df8ff8246a50/vscode-reh-linux-x64.tar.gz](https://cursor.blob.core.windows.net/remote-releases/0781e811de386a0c5bcb07ceb259df8ff8246a50/vscode-reh-linux-x64.tar.gz)) works? ---

Yes, I used a proxy yesterday,but I can download the server today even when I am using the proxy. Everything looks fine now 👌 ---
