I also encountered the same issue. When using WSL2 with OpenAI compatible (x AI / Google Gemini) or Google Gemini, a connection error occurs, but it works normally in Windows

one case is： use a proxy in host windows(eg: clash), and it will effect cline request in WSL. (only effect cline, continue.dev works well......................)

According to your hint, I asked AI to tell me the detailed solution. Then I do that and it really works! What surprised me is this makes many similar extension available under WSL in VSCode, such as MarsCode, Copilot and Codeium. Now I can happily work and code just in VSCode under powerful AI assistance without switching to Cursor or Windsurf.

I use proxy solve it . vim ~/.bashrc then add code to the end # get Host IP WINDOWS_IP=$(ip route | grep default | awk '{print $3}') PROXY_HTTP="http://${WINDOWS_IP}:7890"

# set env export http_proxy="${PROXY_HTTP}" export https_proxy="${PROXY_HTTP}"
