In your ssh command, you are not specifying a bind_address for your -L option.

According to man ssh:

By default, the local port is bound in accordance with the GatewayPorts setting. However, an explicit bind_address may be used to bind the connection to a specific address. The bind_address of ''localhost'' indicates that the listening port be bound for local use only, while an empty address or '*' indicates that the port should be available from all interfaces.

The bind_address of localhost indicates that the listening port be bound for local use only, while an empty address or * indicates that the port should be available from all interfaces.

To allow connections on all interfaces and not just localhost (which is an alias for 127.0.0.1, the address of the loopback interface), specify a bind_address of 0.0.0.0 in your -L option, e.g.

sudo ssh -L 0.0.0.0:140:localhost:8000 [email protected] -N

If you would prefer it listen on a particular IP, you can specify it instead of 0.0.0.0.
