Access web UI from outside a VM?
The problem is that your VM network is configured as NAT in virtualbox, you have to go into the VM config and change the network card in "attached as" config from NAT to bridge adapter, that will make the VM connect directly to your network like a physical device and have its own IP given by your router (or whatever device is your DHCP server), also reboot the VM (since its the easiest thing to do) or restart the network inside the VM to apply the network changes (i'm not sure if virtualbox or Linux itself is smart enough to recognize such a change in the network and adapt itself since i have never change this config on a running VM).
Another thing you can do is port forward the VM to localhost, again go to the network settings instead of changing from NAT to bridge adapter, press advance and open the port forward button at the bottom of the page and add a rule that binds the guest qbittorrent port to the same port on the host since its not a commonly used port like 80, with this option you don't have to change any config in your VM nor qbittorrent, all you have to do is open localhost:port on your browser to access qbittorrent.
If you have more problems post screen of the "ip a" command in linux and your network config in virtualbox
