So it means I have to set up something, a vm, a pod, a server, something that has chronyd running?
It kind of beats the point, no? If I have a place that runs chronyd why not run chornyc from there?
It sounds like you are asking about analyzing the behavior of 3 NTP servers that are not part of your network and you don't run. If that's the case, you can't really use Chrony for this, it's not a passive analysis tool.
'chronyc sources' is used to obtain information from a running instance of 'chronyd'. If that instance of 'chronyd' is configured to use those 3 NTP servers as sources then 'chronyc sources' will give you information about them. If you need to be able to reach that instance of 'chronyd' you'll need to setup networking/permissions appropriately for 'chronyc' to be able to talk to 'chronyd'.
If you don't already have 'chronyd' running then there is no point in trying to use 'chronyc' at all.
