Hi
So my setup.
Postgress data server at our HQ and I am working form home connected via VPN. I publish the report and it appears in my workspace.
I share the report to people in Org but they get a error when trying to access it.
Also I am unable to setup the refresh to the data source either as the server gives me the error and the detials is correct
Failed to update data source credentials: An error happened while reading data from the provider: 'An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions'Show details
Do I need to setup a gateway on myside for a reason ?
