SearchGuard is a third party plugin so it's probably best to ask on [their forum](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/search-guard) instead. However their [docs](https://docs.search-guard.com/latest/cross-cluster-search.html) indicate that it supports remote clusters. ---

I see, sorry about that. There are some SearchGuard users in this forum too so hopefully you will receive more help in due course. I'd suggest changing the topic title to something like **Securing remote cluster connections using SearchGuard** to get the attention of someone more knowledgable. ---
