No, rancher desktop is in separate wsl2 instance:
wsl -l
Ubuntu-20.04 (výchozí)
rancher-desktop-data
rancher-desktop
This was just an example running default kubectl command.
I tried curl
https://172.29.80.1:6443/api (ip address in /etc/resolv.conf). I also tried IP address of windows host on network, IP addresses Ethernet adapter vEthernet (Default Switch), Ethernet adapter vEthernet (WSL), IPv6 address, it just goes to timeout.
