use proxy and port for connection

1. Is there a special setting for an on-premises gateway that uses proxies for internet connection connections? ..
for example in the config file, Microsoft.PowerBI.EnterpriseGateway.exe.config (Replacing useDefaultCredentials=“true”)

2. based on the following article
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-gateway-onprem#ports
do all these ports have to be opened if we Don't use data from Azure (the data source only comes from the Local Analysis services server)? ..

please help me because the data above must be confirmed by my client ..

best regards,

doni

HI @doni ,

It seems like you are confused with gateway client settings and remote proxy server settings, right? In fact, these port settings which you mentioned mean device which you install the gateway client.(gateway service receive power bi service requests from these ports)

For remote proxy server, you only need to confirm specific port opened that you configure in proxy settings.(gateway service will access proxy server data from that port)
