Hi All, I have installed ES 2.4.5 in google cloud VM and the ES instances are up and running fine without issues. But i couldn't able to access it from outside and below is the URL i am trying access it in the browser. **[http://10.128.0.4:9200](http://10.128.0.4:9200)** Error throwing as, This site can’t be reached ``` 10.128.0.4 took too long to respond. Search Google for 128 9200 ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT ``` I have installed GCE Plugin in each node and restarted the ES and the following config changes were added in the elasticsearch.yml file, > ``` > cloud: > gce: > project_id: tribal-firefly-170712 > zone: us-central1-c > discovery: > type: gce > > ``` ``` network.host: _gce_ ``` I can able to access the ES using the curl command, but not able to access in the browser > babu.ganesh0708@esgraylog1:~/elasticsearch-2.4.5/bin$ curl -XGET '[http://10.128.0.4:9200/\_cluster/health?pretty=true](http://10.128.0.4:9200/_cluster/health?pretty=true)' > { > "cluster\_name" : "ES\_GRAYLOG\_DEV", > "status" : "green", > "timed\_out" : false, > "number\_of\_nodes" : 1, > "number\_of\_data\_nodes" : 0, > "active\_primary\_shards" : 0, > "active\_shards" : 0, > "relocating\_shards" : 0, > "initializing\_shards" : 0, > "unassigned\_shards" : 0, > "delayed\_unassigned\_shards" : 0, > "number\_of\_pending\_tasks" : 0, > "number\_of\_in\_flight\_fetch" : 0, > "task\_max\_waiting\_in\_queue\_millis" : 0, > "active\_shards\_percent\_as\_number" : 100.0 > } Please correct me if i am doing anything wrong in the configuration changes. It would be really helpful. Thanks, Ganeshbabu R ---

I guess you ran the curl command from the machine where elasticsearch is running, right? May be you did not open port 9200 to internet on GCP? (Well this is dangerous to do) ---

Yes @dadoonet I ran the command from the machine. So you want me to add the new firewall rule in the GCP so that it can be accessible from outside. ---

Based on the [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/discovery-gce-network-host.html) it looks like `_gce_` binds to the private IP only. Where are you trying to connect from? ---

Hi @Christian_Dahlqvist Below are the Internal IP -\> 10.128.0.4 & External IP -\> 104.154.145.13 of my Google cloud Platform. After the ES started the following logs are generated, ``` [2017-06-20 12:03:04,455][INFO][node] [esgraylog1_DEV_DATA] initialized [2017-06-20 12:03:04,455][INFO][node] [esgraylog1_DEV_DATA] starting ...

Please correct me if i am doing anything wrong. Regards, Ganeshbabu R ---

I wonder if you should try this instead: ```auto network.host: _gce:hostname_ ``` ---
