I am trying to get Elasticsearch to listen to IP addresses other than 127.0.0.1. I have edited the /etc/elasticsearch.yml file as follows:
#network.host: ["_local_", "_site_"] -- tried this one first but didn't work
network.host: ["_local:ipv4_" , "_site:ipv4_"]
http.port: 9200
netstat shows that it seems to be listening on the port:
$ sudo netstat -anp|grep 9200
tcp6 0 0 192.168.0.39:9200 :::\* LISTEN 31495/java
tcp6 0 0 127.0.0.1:9200 :::\* LISTEN 31495/java
curl [http://127.0.0.1:9200](http://127.0.0.1:9200) results are as expected:
{
"name" : "1\_im18G",
"cluster\_name" : "elasticsearch",
"cluster\_uuid" : "bsw9TRs8SvakK5WDVeM5xQ",
"version" : {
"number" : "5.2.0",
"build\_hash" : "24e05b9",
"build\_date" : "2017-01-24T19:52:35.800Z",
"build\_snapshot" : false,
"lucene\_version" : "6.4.0"
},
"tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}
and the change from netstat:
sudo netstat -anp|grep 9200
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:49663 127.0.0.1:9200 TIME\_WAIT -
tcp6 0 0 192.168.0.39:9200 :::\* LISTEN 31495/java
tcp6 0 0 127.0.0.1:9200 :::\* LISTEN 31495/java
response to curl [http://192.168.0.39:9200](http://192.168.0.39:9200) though results in:
curl [http://192.168.0.39:9200](http://192.168.0.39:9200)
```
Network Error - tcp_error
SNIP
Network Error (tcp_error)
SNIP
A communication error occurred: "Operation timed out"
The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time.
```
and no change to netstat.
tcp6 0 0 192.168.0.39:9200 :::\* LISTEN 31495/java
tcp6 0 0 127.0.0.1:9200 :::\* LISTEN 31495/java
Am I missing something or is there maybe a server networking issue?
Thanks.

The issue was resolved with setting the no\_proxy on the local network devices to include the sever.

Is there any software which can protect the laptop from virus? I am fed up with the virus issue because it attacked my laptop for the third time and I lost my data twice, now I don’t want to lose it again. The person whom I contacted to get the [Help With Assignment](http://www.TopAssignmentHelp.co.uk/) told me to install an anti-virus, but it didn’t work. Can anyone here help me by telling me the name of a reliable anti-virus; I am willing to pay any amount to buy it.
