Continuing the discussion from [Bad Gateway (nginx)](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/bad-gateway-nginx/127473)

I have fixed this by running the following command in the terminal:

```
setsebool httpd_can_network_connect on -P

```

This is because the webserver is not allowed to make new network connections, so it can not proxy the request to Kibana.
