It's fairly simple

Access it using its `IpAddress:port` on another machine  
ie.  
http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XX:5601- Kibana  
http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XX:9200- Elasticsearch

By default Elasticsearch is not accessible from another machine unless you change `network.host` setting. See [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/network.host.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/network.host.html)
