You can add this into elasticsearch.yml of your node  
`node.remote_cluster_client: false`

Can I ask why, as I assume you want to route all client traffic to your coordinating nodes, usually done with a LB. Or to avoid rogue clients talking to random nodes?

I see someone else asking this exactly same question today, for master nodes, which is certainly a good place to disable it, but you still have to control where clients connect to.

Welcome to our community! 😃
