IP of Windows Subsystem

Server Config
1

I was looking at installing Squid as a forward proxy… but I wasn’t sure if I needed to install it in Windows 10 or the Ubuntu SubSystem

I still want to SSH into a VPC at AWS but I wanted to record my screen without showing my IP address. Even turning off the Message of the day it’d show up in IP tables and other examples…
Everything else from home shows the same ip from behind the wifi router so I expected to see the same one in the subsystem, but it’s the only one showing anything unique for eth0 My assumption is to install it in Windows… but how does that effect request, particualry SSH from the subsystem and wouldn’t the firewall at AWS still see them all as interpreted as coming from my home router which is the ip I’m seeing for everything else but the subsystem?

Any traffic from your machine to the internet will show your external IP. No amount of subsystems is going to change that, since ultimately the IP belongs to your router, and it doesn’t change depending on what subsystem on your host is talking to it.

So basically (IPs are examples):
