=== Connect to Elastic Maps Service from an internal network
To connect to EMS when your Kibana server and browser are in an internal network:
. Set `map.proxyElasticMapsServiceInMaps` to `true` in your <<settings, kibana.yml>> file to proxy EMS requests through the Kibana server.
. Update your firewall rules to whitelist connections from your Kibana server to the EMS domains listed above.
NOTE: Coordinate map and region map visualizations do not support `map.proxyElasticMapsServiceInMaps` and will not proxy EMS requests through the Kibana server.

=== Disable Elastic Maps Service
You might experience EMS connection issues if your Kibana server or browser are on a private network or
behind a firewall. If this happens, you can disable the EMS connection to avoid unnecessary EMS requests.
