Thanks for the answer  
Can u clarify my doubt here  
I installed elasticsearch in aws ec2 instance  
I want to access the elasticsearch from my browser so in security group I added new rule called allow only from my ip.  
should I add my computer ip at network.host to access the elastic search from my computer browser, is this u r saying. Is this only purpose or do we have any?

Thanks,  
Surya.
