Port Forwarding in VirtualBox | Install Apache on the guest and access it from the host

Let's see how we can use NAT and port forwarding to access a port on the Ubuntu virtual machine from the Windows 11 host.
We install the Apache web server on the guest. By default, we can only access it from port 80 on the guest, but using port forwarding we can also access it from port 8080 on the host.

Probably the most helpful and self-explanatory tutorial I have seen in a while. The fact that you edited the html file of the apache website, made the process and concept easier to understand.

Great thanks for the video! Probably, the opposite case is also possible? I mean how to access the server residing on host from a guest?

Q1. Sir, How you were able to user host ip in the guest machine?
Q2. Sir, We are connecting to the windows 2019 server using vpn having ip 192.168.8.108, In that server there is there is a linux machine within virtual box having ip 192.168.9.108. In that ubantu (Linux OS) there is a application running on port 7001, and network type of the virtual box is NAT. So What are the task i need to perform to connect to the application to access the application using ip 192.168.8.108 and port 7001?
