Error connecting to Azure SQL server

I am trying to connect to an Azure SQL server using Dataflows, however whenever I try connect i get the error "Reason: An instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. Connection was denied since Deny Public Network Access is set to Yes" "To connect to this server, use the Private Endpoint from inside your virtual network". 

 

is this a setting i need to change on the SQL server side? Also does this mean I need to access this from a managed private endpoint within Fabric?

 

Ive seen conflicting points within the documentation whether or not managed private endpoints can be accessed on a trial account
