Describe the bug
When secure hotspot is turned on, WSL2 is no longer routed through the VPN.

OS and app information:

OS: Windows 10 21H2
App version: 2.13.8

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

With secure hotspot disabled, open WSL2, my version is 2.4.11.0 with Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS.
Run curl ifconfig.me and it should output the Windscribe server IP.
Turn on secure hotspot in the Windscribe app settings.
Wait ~10 seconds.
Run curl ifconfig.me again and it will output your real IP.

Expected behavior
The IP should not leak under WSL 2 when secure hotspot is enabled.
