Your setup is not supported. Both your Power BI Desktop and the gateway must have direct line of sight to the on-premise data source.

Gatway will automatically connect to powerbi Service using standard port 80. However if you are using Cloud Database then scenario is different.

Gatway will automatically connect to powerbi Service using standard port 80.not for a long time. Nowadays everything is exclusively 443.
