I am very much happy and so lucky that finally I got a proper forum where I can ask DevOps Specialists about my doubts. I am gonna share this forum to my closest groups who can also subscribe it. I will check your proposed fix. {blue}:inlove:

One thing I have seen with WSL is that you need to enable a proxy connection to allow the traffic ingress. 

Add a proxy connection to my WSL network traffic

To do that, I ran this code. Be sure to replace with your own IPs needed and port

netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenport=80 listenaddress=10.1.149.166 connectport=80 connectaddress=127.0.0.1

Let me know if you can try this and see if it works. Thanks Rashid.

My ingress got an external ip. I exposed my deployment with a service of clusterip. As i am using kind cluster using wsl linux subsystem I gave ip pool for metlab L2 pools the ip range from the kind cluster ip address. I took DNS host from ingress to map the external ip into the /etc/host in esl. Curl to the external ip is working in wsl terminal but in the browser not working. Any suggestion what is blocking.
