Web content requires personal gateway - why?
Hello JozeM
The on-premises data gateway acts as a bridge to provide quick and secure data transfer between on-premises data (data that isn't in the cloud) and several Microsoft cloud services. These cloud services include Power BI, PowerApps, Power Automate, Azure Analysis Services, and Azure Logic Apps. By using a gateway, organizations can keep databases and other data sources on their on-premises networks, yet securely use that on-premises data in cloud services.
And coming to your question we require that gateway as the external source is not a cloud service and it requires a secure transfer of data from the source to the service which is provided by the gateway.
All the data coming from the web requires a personal gateway.

I do not think that is correct, all my data sources are web based and I do not need a personal gateway, what would be the point of having a web source when having to have your computer on?
