Running through the machine's CMD, and using the browser, but I wanted to be able to access it through another machine and network, how to become public ---

@FernandoMOTA This depends upon your machines and your network. Are both the server and client on the same network? There's also the Elastic Cloud, which solves this for you - [https://www.elastic.co/cloud/](https://www.elastic.co/cloud/) ---

I think so, I did the basic installation of ELK, and I have used it locally, do you know any tutorials to be able to make it public, even without this resource sent from the cloud? ---

Which operating system are you using when running kibana? Do you have security enabled? Are you running it from a machine that is already publicly accessible? ---

I am using Windows Server, I have not yet activated security and the machine is already a server for something else and I believe it is already accessible despite having to use the VPN, at first I do not want everyone to access it, but some people to test this function. ---

The first step is setting up security to make sure there isn't unauthorized access - [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/elasticsearch-security.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/elasticsearch-security.html) ---

I performed the security procedures, which pass should I follow now? ---

Are you able to ping the server running kibana from wherever you want it to be accessible? ---

No, it is only local yet ---

Then you need to make the machine publicly accessible. How you do that will depend upon your network configuration. ---
