EADDRNOTAVAIL on connecting remote kibana

Hi! im trying to connect remotely to a server in wich i´ve setup the ELK stash. Im currently running it on remote ubuntu 12.04, 4gb ram.
I started by looking for my public ip adress in order to modify my kibana.yml file, this is what i got:

so then i modified the yml file like following:

i´ve tried to set up my ip to 0.0.0.0 on the yml file,but cant access from chrome or any other web browser either.
This is the error i get when i try to launch kibana service:

If i modify kibana to bind to port 0.0.0.0 im able to access it locally with a curl ,but thats no the idea.
what im i missing? is the issue related to port permissions, ip address or yml file? any help will be greatly appreciated
The goal im trying to achieve is NOT to run kibana locally

[EDIT] Firewall is off

I can not read any of the screenshots. Please try to copy and paste text instead as it is a lot easier to read and search.

sorry :sweat_smile:
this is how i got my ip to bind kibana:

root@XXXXXX:~# curl ipinfo.io/ip
201.xxx.xxx.113

This is my yml file:

# Kibana is served by a back end server. This setting specifies the port to use.
server.port: "5601"

# Specifies the address to which the Kibana server will bind. IP addresses and host names are both valid values.

# To allow connections from remote users, set this parameter to a non-loopback address.

#elasticsearch.username: "user"
#elasticsearch.password: "pass"

server.ssl.key: /root/kibanaremote.key

# Optional settings that provide the paths to the PEM-format SSL certificate and key files.

Is this the IP of the host Kibana is running on? Can you try with 0.0.0.0 instead?

Yep, thats the host kibana, elastic, and logstash are running.

Modified the YML file to bind 0.0.0.0
Kibana started up correctly, but then when point on the browser 201.216.251.113:5601
and:

This site can’t be reached
201.216.251.113 took too long to respond.
Search Google for 201 216 251 113 5601
ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

I would recommend checking if you have any firewall rules that prevent access to that port. If this host is open to the internet I would however also recommend that you secure it.

firewall is off, that shouldnt be an issue right?

If you log into the host, can you telnet the port there?

telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out
did telnet on address and port and got that (im new to ubuntu btw sorry)
