Problem setting up Cloudflare DNS with a tunnel

Honestly I have no damn clue what exactly might be the issue, so I am going to desribe the whole process. I am also a beginner in terms of setting up domains, so I hope you understand my confusion.

My plan was to set up a DNS using a domain purchased on Porkbun with an intent of exposing some of my self-hosted services to the internet. So far I had purchased the domain, added it to Cloudflare, transferred all the DNS records (and even my added my own public IP) and replaced nameservers at the registrar's dashboard with Cloudflare's.

Then I tried to set up the tunnel itself. Evertyhing goes seemingly well, connector installation on Ubuntu went as intended, I also added my service's IP address. However this where my luck ends. I tried both, minecraft server with a route and a proxmox web gui for test purposes. I cannot connect to the first and the second is spewing out a 502 error.

From what I noticed while creating the router no route is betting created (eventhough I had seen it being already there in other guides and tutorials) and I cannot seem to configure one.

Where did I make an error? I have no damn clue. I already tried removing A records provided by the registrar and replacing them with my public IP A DNS record as well as keeping them both, but it did not help.

If any screenshots are needed to determine the issue, I will be more than happy to provide them.
