Hi,
I would like to know how can I connect to the Gateway of PowerBI remotely.
Thanks in advanced!
Hi @Kooky,
Just see from the title of your post, I would tell you the Power BI Gateway acts as a bridge, connecting the on-premises data and the cloud service (Power BI Service). So it can't be used by Power BI Desktop. If you want to connect to a cloud data source like Azure Sql Server, Amazon Redshift, you can connect them directly. Because these cloud services are always there. If you want to connect to the on-premises data sources, I think a LAN or a VPN would help.
Reference: powerbi-gateway-onprem
Best Regards!

@Kooky Can you clarify? Do you want to add datasources, set refresh? All these things can be done on the Power BI Service once you have a gateway deployed on a machine...
Personal -> you only need to schedule refresh
Enterprise -> you can add data sources and schedule refreshes.
