By default it only binds to the loopback interface. Look into the [network.host setting](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-network.html).

Either you can use the "[node.name](http://node.name)" or use the "network.host" binding in elasticsearch.yml. You can find this file in the config directory of ES install. This will help to externalize your ES installation.

Also, check the site magnus linked.
