I try to ssh to the vagrant machine running on my Windows 10 host from the WSL of that same machine. The port forwarding is the default one, that being port 22 of Vagrant machine is forwarded to port 2222 of the Widnows machine. I try to ssh from WSL using localhost, 127.0.0.1, 0.0.0.0 and the ip provided in /etc/resolv.conf(WSL) with no luck using the command ssh {username}@{IP} -p 2222, the connection is not refused but it just stays there until it times out. I have tried making firewall rules that allow traffic in and out of port 2222 on Windows but no luck, I noticed pinging the ip in /etc/resolv.conf from WSL doesn't seem to respond.
If someone out there knows what could be the problem I would be really grateful.
Edit: Adding the /etc/resolv.conf and the /etc/ssh/ssh_config
/etc/ssh/sshd_config:
# $OpenBSD: sshd_config,v 1.103 2018/04/09 20:41:22 tj Exp $
This is the sshd server system-wide configuration file. See
sshd_config(5) for more information.
This sshd was compiled with PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
The strategy used for options in the default sshd_config shipped with
OpenSSH is to specify options with their default value where
possible, but leave them commented. Uncommented options override the
default value.
Include /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/*.conf
#Port 22
#AddressFamily any
#ListenAddress 0.0.0.0
#ListenAddress ::
#HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
#HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key
#HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key
Ciphers and keying
#RekeyLimit default none
Logging
#SyslogFacility AUTH
#LogLevel INFO
Authentication:
#LoginGraceTime 2m
#PermitRootLogin prohibit-password
#StrictModes yes
#MaxAuthTries 6
#MaxSessions 10
#PubkeyAuthentication yes
Expect .ssh/authorized_keys2 to be disregarded by default in future.
#AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys .ssh/authorized_keys2
#AuthorizedPrincipalsFile none
#AuthorizedKeysCommand none
#AuthorizedKeysCommandUser nobody
For this to work you will also need host keys in /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts
#HostbasedAuthentication no
Change to yes if you don't trust ~/.ssh/known_hosts for
HostbasedAuthentication
#IgnoreUserKnownHosts no
Don't read the user's ~/.rhosts and ~/.shosts files
#IgnoreRhosts yes
To disable tunneled clear text passwords, change to no here!
PasswordAuthentication no
#PermitEmptyPasswords no
Change to yes to enable challenge-response passwords (beware issues with
some PAM modules and threads)
ChallengeResponseAuthentication no
Kerberos options
#KerberosAuthentication no
#KerberosOrLocalPasswd yes
#KerberosTicketCleanup yes
#KerberosGetAFSToken no
GSSAPI options
#GSSAPIAuthentication no
#GSSAPICleanupCredentials yes
#GSSAPIStrictAcceptorCheck yes
#GSSAPIKeyExchange no
Set this to 'yes' to enable PAM authentication, account processing,
and session processing. If this is enabled, PAM authentication will
be allowed through the ChallengeResponseAuthentication and
PasswordAuthentication. Depending on your PAM configuration,
PAM authentication via ChallengeResponseAuthentication may bypass
the setting of "PermitRootLogin without-password".
If you just want the PAM account and session checks to run without
PAM authentication, then enable this but set PasswordAuthentication
and ChallengeResponseAuthentication to 'no'.
