How do I get VcXsrv working with WSL?

I installed VcXsrv and configured the DISPLAY variable, however, with VcXsrv running, I cannot get anything to connect to it. For example:

a@HOME:~$ echo $DISPLAYlocalhost:0.0a@HOME:~$ xeyesError: Can't open display: localhost:0.0a@HOME:~$

VcXsrv is enabled in windows firewall:

I'm quite new to linux and Ubuntu so it is possible I am missing something obvious. Can anyone point me in the right direction? What I am trying to achieve is simple: I want to run qemu from WSL with the graphical interface. Thanks.
