Read this context line by line so you know exactly what wwe aretrying to do and what exact step we are at: Backand forth LLM chat: What we’re going to do after diagnostics (so you know the plan) Because you only need WSL + VMs on the same box, the most secure end state is: Ollama listens on 0.0.0.0:11434 (already done) Windows Firewall rule for TCP 11434: Local IPs only: 172.29.64.1, 192.168.159.1, 192.168.78.1 Remote IPs only: 172.29.64.0/20, 192.168.159.0/24, 192.168.78.0/24 Profiles: whatever those adapters are actually using (we’ll see from Get-NetConnectionProfile) That gives you VM/WSL access without exposing Ollama on your Wi‑Fi LAN. Paste the outputs from A + B and we’ll lock it down correctly. MrBL🔥ZE😎 OP — 2:47 AM https://hasteb.in/4ZdBoz87jTzKNkn I have issue running this: "curl -m 3 -sS "http://172.29.64.1:11434/api/version" echo "blocked: wsl->172.29.64.1" curl -m 3 -sS "http://192.168.159.1:11434/api/version" echo "blocked: wsl->vmnet8 host"".. I am not sure the command worked, you will see and advise how to run any command that did nto work. Inspect line by line and asess and advise Krill 🦐:lobster: APP — 2:48 AM Your commands did run, and the output is unambiguous: What succeeded Windows: Ollama is listening (0.0.0.0:11434 and [::]:11434) ✅ Windows: you created an inbound firewall rule “Ollama 11434” that is Enabled / Private / Allow ✅ WSL: the curl commands executed correctly ✅ What failed (the actual problem) From WSL: 172.29.64.1:11434 → timeout 192.168.159.1:11434 → timeout That means Windows Firewall is still dropping inbound traffic coming from the WSL + VMware networks. The reason your “Private-only” rule isn’t working is almost certainly this: Your Wi‑Fi network is Private (you saw that), but the WSL vEthernet and VMware VMnet adapters are typically “Unidentified network” and often treated as Public by Windows. So a rule that applies only to Private won’t match them. The secure fix (does NOT expose to your Wi‑Fi/LAN) Instead of opening 11434 broadly, create a firewall rule that applies to any profile BUT is locked to only the local virtual adapter IPs + remote subnets. Do this in Windows PowerShell as Administrator (These are the exact copy/paste commands.) 1) Remove the old rule (so we don’t have conflicting rules): Remove-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Ollama 11434" 2) Create a scoped rule (WSL + VMware only): New-NetFirewallRule ` -DisplayName "Ollama 11434 (WSL+VM only)" ` -Direction Inbound ` -Action Allow ` -Protocol TCP ` -LocalPort 11434 ` -Profile Any ` -LocalAddress 172.29.64.1,192.168.159.1,192.168.78.1 ` -RemoteAddress 172.29.64.0/20,192.168.159.0/24,192.168.78.0/24 Why this is safe: Even though Profile Any includes Public, the rule only applies when the destination is one of the internal virtual adapter IPs (not your Wi‑Fi IP 192.168.1.101). So you are not exposing Ollama to your LAN. Then re-test from WSL (run exactly this) In WSL, run without the escaped quotes: curl -m 3 -sS http://172.29.64.1:11434/api/version || echo "still blocked" curl -m 3 -sS http://192.168.159.1:11434/api/version || echo "still blocked" If either one returns {"version":"..."}, you’re unblocked. After curl works: OpenClaw should work Since you already set: models.providers.ollama.baseUrl → http://172.29.64.1:11434 Once the firewall is fixed, OpenClaw should stop timing out without further changes. Paste the output of the two WSL curl tests after the new rule, and we’ll finish this.

Microsoft’s official doc (verified) explains this exact situation: Hyper‑V firewall filters traffic to/from WSL containers and can block traffic even when normal host firewall rules exist: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/operating-system-security/network-security/windows-firewall/hyper-v-firewall So: we need to allow WSL → Host port 11434 using Hyper‑V firewall rules (official cmdlets). --- Next steps (PowerShell as Admin) — official, minimal, safe 1) Confirm the WSL VMCreatorId (Microsoft says it’s stable, but we’ll read it) Get-NetFirewallHyperVVMCreator You should see something like FriendlyName WSL and a VMCreatorId. (Microsoft note: WSL is typically {40E0AC32-46A5-438A-A0B2-2B479E8F2E90}.) 2) Check current Hyper‑V firewall settings applied to WSL Get-NetFirewallHyperVVMSetting -PolicyStore ActiveStore -Name '{40E0AC32-46A5-438A-A0B2-2B479E8F2E90}' We care about: Enabled DefaultOutboundAction LoopbackEnabled 3) Create a tight outbound Hyper‑V rule: allow WSL to reach Ollama on the host This allows only TCP to host port 11434, only to the host IPs you’re using: New-NetFirewallHyperVRule ` -DisplayName "WSL -> Host Ollama 11434" ` -Direction Outbound ` -Action Allow ` -VMCreatorId '{40E0AC32-46A5-438A-A0B2-2B479E8F2E90}' ` -Protocol TCP ` -RemoteAddresses 172.29.64.1,192.168.159.1,192.168.78.1 ` -RemotePorts 11434 (These parameters are from Microsoft’s official New-NetFirewallHyperVRule reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/netsecurity/new-netfirewallhypervrule ) --- Re-test from WSL (Ubuntu) Run: curl -m 3 -sS http://172.29.64.1:11434/api/version || echo "still blocked" curl -m 3 -sS http://192.168.159.1:11434/api/version || echo "still blocked" If either returns {"version":"..."}, WSL can finally reach Ollama and OpenClaw will stop timing out once its models.providers.ollama.baseUrl points at that working host IP. --- Paste the outputs of steps 1 and 2 (PowerShell) and the WSL curl retest, and I’ll tell you if we need to adjust the rule (or if your WSL Hyper‑V firewall default policy is set to block outbound).

That means the continued WSL timeouts are most likely one of these: 1) The Windows host firewall rule still isn’t matching the actual WSL source IP / destination interface, or 2) WSL routing to 172.29.64.1 isn’t what we think on your machine (less likely, but possible), or 3) The Hyper‑V rule didn’t actually get created (your paste stops right after the command, no “rule created” output). Let’s pin it down with a small, complete diagnostic set. --- 1) Confirm the Hyper‑V rule was created (Windows PowerShell as Admin) Run: Get-NetFirewallHyperVRule -VMCreatorId '{40E0AC32-46A5-438A-A0B2-2B479E8F2E90}' | Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -like "*Ollama*"} | Format-List * If nothing shows up, the New-NetFirewallHyperVRule command didn’t actually create anything. --- 2) Confirm what IP your WSL instance is actually using (WSL) In WSL, run: ip -4 addr show eth0 ip route | head -50 Copy/paste the inet 172.xx.xx.xx/.. line. We need the exact WSL source IP to verify it’s inside the firewall rule’s RemoteAddress range. --- 3) Confirm the Windows host firewall rule is scoped the way we think (Windows PowerShell Admin) Run: Get-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Ollama 11434 (WSL+VM only)" | Get-NetFirewallAddressFilter Get-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Ollama 11434 (WSL+VM only)" | Get-NetFirewallPortFilter That will show the real LocalAddress/RemoteAddress/LocalPort that Windows is enforcing. --- 4) Re-test from WSL (with verbose connect info) curl -v --connect-timeout 3 http://172.29.64.1:11434/api/version If it says “Connected to …” and then hangs: that’s different than “no route”. If it never connects: firewall/routing. --- If you want the fastest “is it Windows rule matching” proof (still safe) We can do a temporary rule that is not exposed to your Wi‑Fi/LAN by restricting the local address to the WSL virtual adapter only: LocalAddress = 172.29.64.1 (not reachable from your LAN) RemoteAddress = Any (just for the test) But don’t do that yet — paste the outputs from steps 1–3 first and we’ll know exactly what to change without guessing. Send me: the output of the Hyper‑V rule query (step 1) the WSL ip -4 addr show eth0 line (step 2) the AddressFilter/PortFilter output (step 3) The Hyper‑V rule was created correctly — that output looks good: Direction: Outbound RemotePorts: 11434 RemoteAddresses: {172.29.64.1, 192.168.159.1, 192.168.78.1} Action: Allow EnforcementStatus: OK And importantly: PortStatuses shows Profile: Public / NAT for WSL So the Hyper‑V firewall side is not obviously broken. Why your PowerShell test command failed This part is just PowerShell syntax: || is bash syntax, not PowerShell syntax. In PowerShell you need if (...) { ... } or use cmd. Also: in PowerShell, curl is often an alias for Invoke-WebRequest. To avoid weirdness, use curl.exe. --- Run the correct tests (copy/paste) A) Windows PowerShell (use curl.exe, no ||) curl.exe -m 3 -sS http://172.29.64.1:11434/api/version curl.exe -m 3 -sS http://192.168.159.1:11434/api/version If you want the “still blocked” message in PowerShell, do: curl.exe -m 3 -sS http://172.29.64.1:11434/api/version if ($LASTEXITCODE -ne 0) { "still blocked" } B) WSL (Ubuntu bash) — this is where || is valid In WSL: curl -m 3 -sS http://172.29.64.1:11434/api/version || echo "still blocked" curl -m 3 -sS http://192.168.159.1:11434/api/version || echo "still blocked" --- What we learn from these If Windows can curl 172.29.64.1 successfully but WSL still times out → it’s still a host firewall/profile/scope mismatch on the Windows rule side. If both Windows and WSL can curl successfully → OpenClaw should stop timing out once it’s pointed at that same host IP. Reply with: 1) the two Windows PowerShell curl.exe outputs, and 2) the two WSL curl outputs. You’re still using PowerShell syntax with a bash operator. In PowerShell, || does not work. Also, PowerShell’s curl is often an alias — use curl.exe. Copy/paste exactly this in PowerShell: curl.exe -m 3 -sS http://192.168.159.1:11434/api/version if ($LASTEXITCODE -ne 0) { "still blocked" } And also run: curl.exe -m 3 -sS http://172.29.64.1:11434/api/version if ($LASTEXITCODE -ne 0) { "still blocked" } Paste both outputs. (If you prefer CMD for the || style, you can run from PowerShell: cmd /c curl -m 3 -sS http://192.168.159.1:11434/api/version || echo still blocked.) That paste confirms the Hyper‑V rule was created successfully (EnforcementStatus: OK). Good. But the rest of the paste still doesn’t test connectivity, because you’re still running PowerShell with ||, which fails parsing before curl even runs: The token '||' is not a valid statement separator in this version. So right now we still don’t know whether Windows itself can reach 172.29.64.1:11434 / 192.168.159.1:11434. Run these EXACT commands in Windows PowerShell (no ||, and force real curl) Copy/paste one by one: curl.exe -m 3 -sS http://127.0.0.1:11434/api/version curl.exe -m 3 -sS http://172.29.64.1:11434/api/version curl.exe -m 3 -sS http://192.168.159.1:11434/api/version If these return {"version":"..."} → Windows can reach those interfaces. If 127.0.0.1 works but 172.29.64.1 fails → Ollama is not actually reachable on that interface (despite listening), or another filter is interfering. Then run this in WSL (Ubuntu) curl -m 3 -sS http://172.29.64.1:11434/api/version || echo "still blocked" Paste the outputs of all 4 commands (3 in PowerShell + 1 in WSL). That will tell us exactly where the block is (Windows interface vs WSL->host path).

Krill 🦐:lobster: APP — 3:57 AM I read through your paste end-to-end. Here’s what it actually shows (and what it does not show). What your results confirm (good news) 1) Hyper‑V firewall (WSL) rule exists and is applied You have a Hyper‑V firewall rule: DisplayName: WSL -> Host Ollama 11434 Direction: Outbound Action: Allow RemoteAddresses: 172.29.64.1, 192.168.159.1, 192.168.78.1 RemotePorts: 11434 EnforcementStatus: OK So the “WSL container can’t talk outbound” theory is not the blocker anymore. 2) Windows host firewall rule exists and is correctly scoped Get-NetFirewallAddressFilter shows: LocalAddress: 172.29.64.1, 192.168.159.1, 192.168.78.1 RemoteAddress: 172.29.64.0/20, 192.168.159.0/24, 192.168.78.0/24 LocalPort: 11434 That’s exactly the secure rule we wanted (WSL+VM only; not Wi‑Fi LAN). 3) Windows can reach Ollama on all relevant host IPs Your curl.exe results show Ollama responds on: 127.0.0.1:11434 ✅ 172.29.64.1:11434 ✅ 192.168.159.1:11434 ✅ So Ollama + host listening are fine. What is still missing (the reason we’re “circling”) You still have not pasted the WSL-side curl results after these rules were in place. Also, you ran Linux commands (ip ...) in PowerShell, which will always fail. Those must be run inside WSL. Until we see WSL output, we can’t say if the remaining block is: in WSL routing, or a Linux firewall inside WSL, or you’re testing from a different WSL instance/network than the one we scoped. --- Do this now (exact, minimal, no extras) Step 1: Open Windows CMD and enter WSL In Windows CMD: wsl -d Ubuntu-24.04 Step 2: In WSL, run these 3 commands and paste output ip -4 addr show eth0 curl -m 3 -sS http://172.29.64.1:11434/api/version || echo "blocked: wsl->172.29.64.1" curl -m 3 -sS http://192.168.159.1:11434/api/version || echo "blocked: wsl->192.168.159.1" That’s the final proof. If those return the version JSON, you’re done and OpenClaw can use: http://172.29.64.1:11434 (recommended for WSL OpenClaw) If they still time out, then the next move is checking Linux-side firewall (ufw) or WSL networking mode — but we don’t go there until the above output is in hand. Also: the “VMware/Docker path mismatch / /app/C:\Users” stuff in the paste is not evidenced by these firewall/Ollama results; it’s a separate topic. Let’s finish the Ollama connectivity first.

The important lines are these (and they change the diagnosis): What your results prove (no guessing) 1) WSL is definitely running and has IP 172.29.67.61/20 on eth0. 2) Windows can reach Ollama on all the host-side addresses: 127.0.0.1:11434 ✅ 172.29.64.1:11434 ✅ 192.168.159.1:11434 ✅ 3) Windows host firewall rule is correct and scoped: LocalAddress: 172.29.64.1, 192.168.159.1, 192.168.78.1 RemoteAddress: 172.29.64.0/20, 192.168.159.0/24, 192.168.78.0/24 LocalPort: 11434/TCP 4) Hyper‑V firewall for WSL is enabled and LoopbackEnabled is true; outbound default is Allow; you also added an explicit outbound allow rule to *:11434. And yet: 5) From inside WSL, curl to 172.29.64.1:11434 and 192.168.159.1:11434 still times out. Conclusion / Root cause This is not an Ollama problem anymore. Ollama is healthy and listening. This is not a “normal Windows Firewall port rule” problem either — your rule matches the subnets and Windows itself can hit the IPs. This is a WSL ↔ Windows host connectivity block at the Hyper‑V/WSL networking layer on your machine (Windows 11 “Hyper‑V firewall” / WSL NAT path), despite the rules looking correct. Also: the “VMware/Docker /app/C:\Users mount” bullets you pasted are not evidenced by these logs. The blocker shown here is purely: WSL cannot reach Windows host on TCP/11434. --- SOP (no more circling) — pick ONE of these paths Path A (keep OpenClaw in WSL; fix WSL networking policy) Do this in Windows PowerShell (Admin) using Microsoft’s Hyper‑V firewall cmdlets: 1) Check the applied Hyper‑V profile settings for WSL (official cmdlet): Get-NetFirewallHyperVProfile -PolicyStore ActiveStore -Name '{40E0AC32-46A5-438A-A0B2-2B479E8F2E90}' 2) Ensure the Public profile (WSL NAT shows as Public) allows local rules + outbound allow (official cmdlet): Set-NetFirewallHyperVProfile -Name '{40E0AC32-46A5-438A-A0B2-2B479E8F2E90}' -Profile Public -AllowLocalFirewallRules True -DefaultOutboundAction Allow -Enabled True 3) Restart WSL networking: wsl --shutdown Then start WSL again and re-test the WSL curl. (Those cmdlets are official Microsoft Learn: Hyper‑V firewall + Set/Get‑NetFirewallHyperVProfile.) Path B (fastest, most reliable): run OpenClaw on Windows (same machine as Ollama) This avoids the entire WSL→host networking mess. Since Ollama works on 127.0.0.1:11434 in Windows, OpenClaw on Windows will work immediately without special routing. You can still keep the rest of your setup (VMs can hit Windows Ollama over VMnet8/VMnet1). Path C: run Ollama inside WSL instead (one Ollama instance, but Linux-side) Then WSL OpenClaw uses 127.0.0.1:11434 and Windows/VMs connect into WSL (Windows→WSL port forwarding is typically easier than WSL→Windows in locked-down Hyper‑V firewall scenarios). --- Why your OpenClaw chat responses were cut off / duplicated Because when the model can’t be reached from WSL, you get repeated “busy/queued” messages and partial streams — the run is failing mid-flight due to timeouts.
