Setting up Auto Refresh with Data that lives behind VPN

Hi , Anonymous 

According to your description, you published to the service using a report that connects to a Jira data source, but you encountered an error when configuring data source credentials to set up scheduled refresh: need to be logged into my VPN, if this is the case, I have an idea here, you can try to install Power BI on-premise data gateway on your local computer and configure the connection to this data source under the gateway. In this way, the gateway can run as a background Windows service and connect to your Jira data source, and the network environment used should be the network where your local VPN is turned on, you can see these two documents for specific operations:

Thank you for your time and sharing, and thank you for your support and understanding of PowerBI!
