gateway can solved firewall error?
Yes on-premises gateway will mak it more stable and may help you in speed up processing too.
You can install your enterprise gateway on the same server as the datasource but keep a note on the ports that are required to be opened on the server to make the gateway work as it needs to communicate outside. If your report is already published in a workspace you don't have to do anything, just create a gateway and register it then you will see an option to ocnnect your datasource to gateway and just add it there.

nitishsh91 So i downloaded Enterprise GW on the same machine as my source ( i have no other option), from refresh that takes 4-5 hours - now the refresh in service is 7 minutes! (too good to be true)
But i just install the GW, with no specific ports and other advanced settings, im just want to be sure that in the future the GW will not casue any errors to my source, but from 5 hours to 7 minutes is Amazing!
