Hi,  
I have an AWS elastic account and I am trying to use Transport Client to connect to it. Unfortunately I am behind a firewall and need to use a proxy to get out. Can someone post some code how to do thins. I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Does AWS exposes the transport port? I thought they don't and that you can only use REST layer when using AWS elasticsearch service (which is not elastic cloud service).
