They are frequently, but not exclusively, used behind firewalls. Running [IPFS Desktop](https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/ipfs-desktop#ipfs-desktop) or another form of IPFS node triggers connection attempts to other IPFS peers. Private network administrators may treat such connection attempts as potential security vulnerabilities. Private IPFS gateway servers located inside the private network and running a trusted code base provide an alternative architecture for read/write access to externally-hosted IPFS content.

This [tutorial configuring an IPFS gateway on a Google Cloud platform](https://blog.stacktical.com/ipfs/gateway/dapp/2019/09/21/ipfs-server-google-cloud-platform.html) includes information on constraining access for a private gateway setup.
