On-Prem Data Gateway proxy issue
Hi Fabric Community,
Our server group has decided to shut down and remove all proxy servers. Is there a way to configure the On-prem data gateway service without a proxy server?
Thanks,

Hi DKHUghes55 ,
from my point of view an On-premises Data Gateway does not require a proxy server to function. As long as the gateway server has direct outbound HTTPS (TCP 443) access to the required Microsoft endpoints, it can communicate with the Power BI/Fabric service without a proxy.
Microsoft also has a networking requirements page that lists the required endpoints:
https://learn.microsoft.com/data-integration/gateway/service-gateway-communicationHope this helps!
Best regards!

Hello DKHUghes55,
Yes. The On-premises Data Gateway does not require a proxy server if your organization's network allows direct outbound internet access.
A few things to verify after removing the proxy:Ensure the gateway server can establish direct outbound HTTPS (TCP 443) connections to the required Microsoft Fabric/Power BI endpoints.
Remove any proxy configuration that was previously applied to the gateway service or Windows.
Confirm that your firewall allows the required Microsoft endpoints and ports used by the gateway.
After the proxy is removed, restart the On-premises Data Gateway service and verify that it reconnects successfully in the Power BI/Fabric portal.
If your organization blocks direct internet access, you'll need to allow the required Microsoft service endpoints through the firewall; otherwise, the gateway won't be able to communicate with the Fabric/Power BI service.
