Hi  @ThomasStiebler ,

Sorry, I didn't see the content clearly.

After research, Power BI currently does not support automatic configuration (.pac) files in Gateway Configuration Files. You can try to create a script for automatic configuration according to the following documents:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_auto-config
