    Hi there,

    If you open the On-Premise Gateway application it will tell you which mode you are in.

    I would recommend installing it on the SQL Server if you can. It will make the management and connections stable and easier to manage.

  • Hi there

    Are you using the On-Premise Data Gateway in Enterprise Mode or Personal mode?

    Also do you not have a Server where you could install the Gateway on, so that it can always be on and connected to your SQL Server Source?

    I am assuming that there is some disconnect between the Gateway and your SQL Server due to the VPN having to be connected.

      and insatlling it in server and pointing that gateway in power bi Cloud ,will help in solving this issue.
