I am connecting to a server via ssh -L 8000:localhost:8000 <hostname> on my Ubuntu virtual machine in VirtualBox. In the VM, I can access the server via "localhost:8000" but cannot from the IP address "192.168.11.175:8000" (I have a bridged adapter). I cannot access the server in my host OS (Windows 10) via localhost or the IP. How could I get access to the VM localhost from my host machine?
Results from running ifconfig:

One to achieve this is to ssh into your Ubuntu VM from the "host" (your Windows 10 machine) using -L (for local port forwarding) as well.
You chose Windows as your host for some reason, so there is no built-in ssh command as in macOS, Linux etc.
So I assume you're probably using tools like PuTTY?
You can set up local port forwarding in PuTTY using its config dialog - find more information i.e. here.
After having forwarded port 8000 from your Windows host to the Ubuntu VM, it will then be further forwarded through the ssh -L ... command you mentioned to the remote server.
