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.

For more details you may refer to these blogs:

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"?
