Hi,

You need to set the server.host and server.port in your kibana.yml file and then restart kibana.

Also, you need to check if the port 5601 is open in the firewall from the remote server you're trying to access Kibana from.

> **[Access Kibana | Kibana Guide \[8.5\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/access.html)**

> A reference of the reporting settings administrators configure in kibana.yml.

This URL can give you an idea on it.

If you open the kibana.yml file, you'll find the settings already there in the file.

You need to just specify your IP and 5601 as port.

The document I sent you will give you the steps mentioned. Give a check on it.
