Script to install and automate the start/stop of wsl-vpnkit.

Based on a few other posts I've seen here on powershell scripts and starting/stopping i've created an all in one solution.

The above gist contains a powershell script that will install/update wsl-vpnkit. It will also create a scheduled task, in windows, that will automatically start/stop wsl-vpnkit when Cisco Anyconnect connects/disconnects. The start/stop automation should be similar for other VPN providers you just need to track down what to trigger of off in the Windows event log.

So far this has worked great as the wsl-vpnkit only runs when I need it and I don't have to think about starting and stopping it. The other benefit is WSL will properly shutdown when not in use and the host VPN (Cisco Anyconnect) isn't connected. That leads to the drawback that WSL will always be running when the host VPN is connected even if the only WSL distro running is wsl-vpnkit itself.

This only for Windows 11? I am not specialist of powerShell scripts, so can it be easily changed to working with Widows 10 as well?
