Connect to remote server via vpn

Good morning,

 

I'm a bit rusty wrt to connecting to a remote SQL Server for POWER BI.

I've tried using the youtube but it doesn't help me with the connection. 

I have the server name: PSTSAP01.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards, 

 

Chris

Power BI does not know about VPNs. It expects a direct connection to data sources, either in the cloud or on-premise (via a gateway). So any VPN connectivity management is on you.
