dataflow connection

evening everyone,
I am military and I have been attempting to utilize powerbi (pro) and looking for assistance on why I was able to access my data flow just 3 hours ago from work and now that I am home with a vpn to work I no longer have access to my dataflows when I open up powerbi desktop. I spent all weekend on my home computer working with no issues. But today, i have no access. when attempting to connect it states that access to this resource is forbidden. 

For clarity, I set up my powerbi service that is currently using a gateway to the foundry service. for those that unfamiliar, I am creating datasets in foundry and pulling them into powerbi creating dataflows. those dataflows then feed my powerbi desktop to help me create dashboards for my unit. 

If i have looked through the forums but have come up short. so if anyone has a fix. please reach out>

Thank you!

Hi @colinbridges  - VPN to the work network does not always replicate the full internal access that you have on a workstation at work. Military networks often have strict firewall rules that might prevent your home computer from fully authenticating with the gateway or Foundry endpoints.
