Is it possible to connect to a VPN from inside the Windows Subsystem for Linux?

I'm developing a Wordpress site on a LAMP stack running inside of my WSL Ubuntu installation on Windows 10. There are certain REST calls that I need to make that require a VPN connection to the server. I have the VPN connection working properly on an actual Ubuntu server but when I run the exact same configuration inside WSL, it fails to connect. Is this even supported? I know there are limitations in WSL. I can't seem to find any clear information as most articles talk about Windows 10 itself (the host) connecting to the VPN.

Searching for the same problem I found out that this is a pending open issue on WSL Github https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/416.
