How can I get the kubectl proxy to the kubernetes dashboard working?

Question

I'm setting up a highly available microk8s cluster on three servers running ubuntu server 20.04. I enabled the dashboard addon and tried to forward it using the command

kubectl port-forward -n kube-system service/kubernetes-dashboard 10443:443

in WSL Ubuntu with the microk8s cluster configured in the kubeconfig file, but it returned the error

error: error upgrading connection: error dialing backend: dial tcp 192.168.250.235:10250: connect: no route to host

so then I tried running microk8s dashboard-proxy on one of the servers to see if that would work, and it returned the error

Checking if Dashboard is running.
Dashboard will be available at https://127.0.0.1:10443

The addons dashboard, dns, ha-cluster, helm3 and metrics-server are enabled in the microk8s cluster.

kubectl get nodes returns the following output:

the output of kubectl -n kube-system describe service/kubernetes-dashboard is:
