Cloudflare s proxy is only for HTTP

Cloudflare's proxy is only for HTTP Traffic. They're not assigning you a Unique IP or anything, so without something like Cloudflare Spectrum they'd have no way to tell what arbitary tcp traffic is for your zone vs someone elses.

You could use Arbitrary TCP w/ cloudflared: https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/applications/non-http/arbitrary-tcp/
Would basically boil down to you installing cloudflared on the client machine and using something like
cloudflared access tcp --hostname tcp.site.com --url localhost:3306

I wouldn't use it for heavy traffic or something mission critical imo as you are adding another layer and as far as I know, that was designed more for client to site connections then point to point/server to server. People have used it in the past though
