No, the project has two parts. One server and one client. The client obviously runs on a different host than the server, but nothing in the architecture says that the server and the db has to run on different hosts.

You can also see that the pgrokd.yml config example is connecting to the database via localhost, so running on the same machine as "pgrokd" (the server part of pgrok).

My mistake it looks as though the desiderata was single client/server db backend in the first place, and remote db was just an added bonus of that - https://github.com/pgrok/pgrok/pull/11
