Using WSL2 python console when connected to a VPN Follow

I have defined a WSL2 python3 interpreter to run with PyCharm. I have been able to connect the WSL2 terminal as well as the python interpreter and they work just fine with PyCharm. However, when I connect to my company VPN I can not open the python terminal.

Some of the configurations I have performed on WSL2 are as following:

• I added my company DNS IP to the /etc/resolv.conf file as "nameserver XX.XX.XX.XX" as well as a default one. This will allow me to use the intended DNS to route the traffic depending on my connection.
• Also, each time I connect to my VPN I need to update the Interface Metric. Othewise I wouldn't have internet connection when using the VPN. For that, I run the following command on a PowerShell:

Get-NetAdapter | Where-Object {$_.InterfaceDescription -Match "Cisco AnyConnect"} | Set-NetIPInterface -InterfaceMetric 6000

With this setup, I have internet connection on my WSL2 even when I am connected to the VPN or directly on the company intranet.

However, if I go to PyCharm and try to open a python console I receive an error message saying "Couldn't connect to console process. Process finished with exit code -1". This is weird as I can access it without any problem if I just use my own internet connection instead of the VPN. I have tried to open the terminal inside PyCharm (which is my WSL2 terminal) when connected to the VPN and everything works fine, I have internet connection.

This is what I find in the idea.log file after receiving the error message.
