If you need to access Elasticsearch from outside, you need to do whatever is 
needed. Open 9200 port is one solution.
But It is a security issue for sure.

That said, you could add a NGnix layer to secure access or follow Nik's advice 
about SSH tunnels. 

My 2 cents.

Thank you David for your reply, I don't think 9200 port is open on my server as 
i am not able to do telnet on that port. Should I go ahead ask my service 
provider to open this port.

But i feel a security issue if 9200 port is open.

Kindly suggest me if there a better way to access the elastic search cluster 
from my local machine by adding some configs(temporarily) in elasticsearch.yml 
at run time.

I am sorry about my lack of knowledge about elastic search at the moment but I 
am learning.

Thanks.
Mas
