Is connection from home server to cloudflare HTTPS or HTTP when using cloudflare tunnel? - eviltoast

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?
