Need Help with SSH Tunneling via Cloudflare -Facing Issues

I'm currently in the process of setting up SSH tunneling via Cloudflare to remotely access my home desktop. I've successfully configured DDNS using a script that updates my Cloudflare DNS settings with my home's IPv4 public IP address.

Here's a quick rundown of my progress:
SSH Server Setup: My home desktop has an SSH server installed and is confirmed to be working locally.
Cloudflare Account: I've created an account on Cloudflare and added my domain.
DDNS Configuration: Using a script, I've set up a dynamic DNS service that updates my Cloudflare DNS settings with my home's IPv4 public IP address.

However, when attempting to SSH using the Cloudflare domain, I'm running into some issues. I suspect there might be some additional steps or configurations that I'm missing.
Here are a few specific questions I'm hoping the community can help me with:
Cloudflare Settings: Are there specific settings on Cloudflare that need to be configured for SSH? I want to make sure I'm not overlooking any crucial details.
Home Desktop Configuration: Are there any specific settings or configurations needed on my home desktop for successful SSH tunneling via Cloudflare?
Security Concerns: Is SSHing through Cloudflare safe? What additional security measures should I implement to ensure a secure connection?
I would greatly appreciate any insights, tips, or steps to troubleshoot from those who have experience with SSH tunneling through Cloudflare.
Thanks in advance for your help!
