So, in this post, we will spin up an EC2 with Wirfows, will install Tableau Bridge client there, Tableau Desktop, and will add a new connection to a new database server via a private network link to use it later in the Tableau Online. Check it here: Use Bridge to Keep Data Fresh, and Plan Your Bridge Deployment. TableauвЂ™s documentation unfortunately doesnвЂ™t reveal that details. How connections are routed? Why itвЂ™s impossible to have a PC with the Bridge and Desktop in an office, another PC with only Bridge on a PC in a database serverвЂ™s network, and then route requests between them? But then it turned out, that you still need to have access from a PC with the Desktop to add a new data source.ДЄlso, itвЂ™s very weird how the Bridge is working in general on its network layer. support, which first told me, that they can be hosed on separate instances.

In general, Tableau made a lot of documentation about its Bridge, but itвЂ™s a bit incomplete, as for me.ДЇor example, the very first question for me was вЂ“ does the Bridge service needs to be running on the same machine, where Tableau Desktop is running? Or it can be hosted on another PC? Documentation doesnвЂ™t say anything about this, and I had to ask the tech.

Also, Bridge will perform data encryption during its transitioning via the Internet. The idea is to have a Bridge service running in a network, which has access to a database server via its Private IP. To access a database server, that has no public access (as it must be вЂ“ access only inside an AWS VPC), Tableau suggests using its tool called Tableau Bridge.
