I can confirm this on 1803:
What would be the approach to fixing this? If connecting to a windows machine use a different tool other than socat? Are there any tools that are used in the windows world for port-forwarding? If I got some guidance on tools to use I could take a try at a PR for this.

The problem is that the portForward streaming operation invokes and on the node. Those aren't available (or required) on Windows.

On Linux, the command is something like
Would using be the command to get this to work? (v=ws.10)#add-v4tov4

I looked into this, I think that it could in theory work, the hard part about trying to use is that it needs the IP address, whereas in this method all you have is the PID and . I don't know how to do mapping to get the IP, but if you can figure that out then it's just a matter of allocating a random port to use as the listen port, assuming people are okay with that solution. It has the disadvantage of being less secure than the Linux side, which only exposes access to the stream to the Kubelet process instead of all processes, but I'm not sure that's a big security concern.
This function implemented by the CRI shim, which is capable of finding out the IP address by . /cc
I'm a bit ignorant of all things windows. Does "all processes" really mean everything, including unprivileged containers, or do you just mean all processes in the host network namespace (or whatever the windows equivalent is)?
It would have been just the host network namespace. This approach didn't really pan out though. is investigating another approach that more closely matches the way it works on Linux.
