Hi @korads86

No, It wasn't solutions.
Hi @korads86
Datasets that use cloud data sources, such as Azure SQL DB, don't require a data gateway if Power BI can establish a direct network connection to the source.
If Power BI Service couldn't establish a direct network connection to the source, it will remind you to install a gateway to run refresh.
Here is a post like yours that user needs to configure gateway when they connect to Wikipedia.

I dont want to install getway. This is point of my question.
Why Power BI cant establish a direct network connection?
So for now answer - "NO, we cant work without getway, even with Web sourсes"?
