Hello I am completely new to powershell. What should I do if I want to remove a proxy?
i.e. from the example from the first comment, what if I want to remove only

0.0.0.0 5000 192.168.42.226 5000

@chorongi I think this will work.
netsh interface portproxy delete v4tov4 listenport=5000 listenaddress=0.0.0.0

I've added the following conditional to prevent an error on initial run.

# Remove and Create NetFireWallRule
$firewallRule = Get-NetFireWallRule -DisplayName 'WSL 2 Firewall Unlock' -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue;

if ($firewallRule) {
    Remove-NetFireWallRule -DisplayName 'WSL 2 Firewall Unlock';
}
