Bullshit.

If firing up a piece of software creates an unauthenticated, unprotected (non-TLS) endpoint to read-write data, that's a loaded gun. That is PRECISELY the default behavior of ES.

ES has jacked around for years by making TLS and other standard security features premium. To that, I say this: Screw ES and their bullshit business model. Their business model is a leading cause to dumbasses dumping extremely sensitive PII data into a DB that is unprotected - those same folks aren't going to go the extra mile to secure the DB, either by licensing or 3rd party bolt-ons.

Thus, why it must be shipped secure by default. Anything less is a professional felony, in my eyes. Also, screw ES again, in-case I wasn't clear.
