I would suggest to configure it properly with correct bind / publish addresses as default is apparently not working. Please read this: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.4/modules-network.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.4/modules-network.html) It might aid in your problem. ---

@samdash I didn't find a solution yet. The only thing I can think of would be to revert back to the public High Sierra. Unfortunately, that comes with wiping everything and starting from scratch. Not ready to give up just yet. Will let you know if I come up with anything. ---
