While there isn't a single command to directly query WSL's proxy settings, you can check the environment variables as mentioned above (using `echo $http_proxy`, `echo $https_proxy`, etc.). Also, look at the system logs within WSL (e.g., `/var/log/syslog`) for more detailed error messages related to proxy connection attempts. `nslookup google.com` or `ping google.com` can also help diagnose basic connectivity issues.
