Is connection from home server to cloudflare HTTPS or HTTP when using cloudflare tunnel? (programming.dev)

I had self-hosted services on a Raspberry Pi using Docker in my college room. Since I couldn't set up port forwarding, I couldn't enable HTTPS for them. I know that I can still have https without port forwarding but it is not straightforward and difficult for me. And, I used cloudflare tunnel to access them from outside my college network. When I access them using cloudflare tunnel, it uses HTTPS. However, I found conflicting information online about the connection between the server and cloudflare, with some sources saying it's HTTP and others saying it's HTTPS. What's true?

Nobody can answer this because it depends entirely on how you set it up. It can be set up either way. Whatever you point your internal endpoint at is what it is.
