You will eventually need to configure your Mysql server to allow remote access.
You can of course configure the archive and execute the archive engine on the same machine that runs MySQL, but it’s likely that you’ll also want to look at the data, and the clients might not all run on that same host. So at least some read-only account needs to be added to provide read access.
