    You can ignore these "Personal Cloud Connection" items. They serve no purpose at the moment. 

     

    Dataflows do not require a gateway when they are being consumed.   They may require a gateway when being refreshed.  That gateway should be an On-Premise (Standard/Enterprise) gateway. A VM in your on-prem network, not your personal PC.
