SQL Bulk Copy over the network

I'm trying to use Bulk Copy to multiple insert a large amount of data from one server to another. The problem is that I don't a design that would require my first server (the one that sends the data) to know the Connection String for the second server. So I have a program that transmits the data from the origin to the destination, and destination server knows the new server's connection string. Currently I'm working with multiple inserts - which is extremely slow. How can I improve my performance according to the specified requirements?

C#

public void ParallelLoadTest()
{
   
    List<datatable> tables = GetTestData(); 

   
    Parallel.ForEach(tables, table =>
        {
            BulkLoadData(table);
        }
    );
}

public void BulkLoadData(DataTable dt)
{
     using(SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("{removed connectionstring}"))
     using (SqlBulkCopy bulkCopy = new SqlBulkCopy(conn, SqlBulkCopyOptions.TableLock, null))
     {
          bulkCopy.DestinationTableName = "Dataload";
          bulkCopy.BulkCopyTimeout = 60;
          bulkCopy.ColumnMappings.Add("FieldA", "FieldA");
          bulkCopy.ColumnMappings.Add("FieldB", "FieldB");
          conn.Open();
          bulkCopy.WriteToServer(dt);
          bulkCopy.Close();
