Hello everyone,  
I have a elasticsearch server running on google compute engine at port 9200 with no problems in firewalls.

When I run this curl command:

curl -u elastic:passwordChanged -H "User-Agent: Mozilla" -H "Origin: [http://localhost:4200](http://localhost:4200)" -i public-ip:9200

```auto

```

As you can see I have enabled http.cors. and allowed all origin.

Now the problem I'm facing is I have an angular project which is trying to connect to this server but am getting

```auto
Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at http://localhost:9200/. (Reason: CORS request did not succeed).

```

I'm using elasticsearch-browser library to connect.

```auto
import * as es from "elasticsearch-browser";

export class AppComponent {
  private client: es.Client

  private connect(){
    this.client = new es.Client ({
      node: 'http://external-ip:9200',
      httpAuth: 'elastic:changedPassword'
    });
  }

  constructor(){
    this.connect()
    console.log(this.client.ping())
  }
}

```

It works when the server is running on the same machine as angular, but is for some reason not changing the node ip.

What can I do to fix this?  
I obviously changed the password for security reasons .

Never mind, it was a stupid issue. I followed some code on some website for setup probably for an older version of the elasticsearch library.  
Now, I just replaced the node with host in this

```auto
 node: 'http://external-ip:9200',

```

and it is working now.
