Local SSRS url can't access in Windows Power BI mobile in Desktop

I have SSRS 2017 URL which is configured in Mobile reports.


In my PC, installed Windows Power BI mobile application and if i try to connect my ssrs 2017 reporting services url i got the error as "please check the sql reporting services url".

Suppose in the same domain, i can login my same ssrs 2017 url in windows power bi mobile application in other system.

 

The thing is i can't connect my local ssrs2017 url into windows power bi mobile in my desktop.

 

i added inbound rule as port 80 but its not working. Kindly help me out.

Hey Sathishkumar90, 

 

For security reasons, a UWP app that is installed in the standard manner is not allowed to make network calls to the device it is installed on (localhost addresses).

 

In order to overcome ‘network isolation’ follow the next steps:

  1. Install app from http://loopback.codeplex.com/
  2. Launch the app and search for ‘Microsoft Power BI’
  3. Check the checkbox near ‘Microsoft Power BI’ field.
  4. Save

 

After these steps, you will be able to connect to the local portal.

Thank you. It's working nice. 

 

One more doubt, Is it safe to install the Fiddler(3rd party software) in production server?.
