    Hi there

    What you would need to do is to install the Gateway within your VPC (Private Network).

    This will allow the Gateway to connect to your database and also to be communicate to the Power BI Service (With Port 443 open to the outside)

    Then depending if you want to use DirectQuery or Import and refresh via the Gateway you will be able to achieve this.

      How do I install it within my private VPC? Where I need to go to start it?

        You would need to install an EC2 instance in the VPC and then install the Gateway on this EC2 instance?
