About CloudFlare Tunnel
I want to encapsulate TCP communication with HTTPS in CloudFlare Tunnel.
I am using i-Filter@Cloud, a software that blocks websites from the cloud database and filters them as a cloud proxy, and I asked a friend for a way to communicate through it. I was advised to use CloudFlareTunnel to encapsulate the TCP communication with HTTPS for communication. In this case, should I use my unfiltered Windows PC at home as the OriginServer in the attached image, and use the Windows PC with filtering software as the Server? I would very much appreciate your advice. Thank you in advance.

(Follow that guide linked. Dashboard tunnels/remote are easiest, but require Zero Trust free plan which needs a payment method. I believe you can get around that with local tunnels as long as you don't need any app policies/restrictions on who can connect).
If administrator privileges are required, only general users can use the system on the client because the administrator is from the school board. So we need to take away the administrator rights on the client side, do we have to do that?
