I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
There are a lot of services that do this, like localtunnel for example, which don't require you to do any weird setup involving "zero trust dashboards" or creating "applications".
I'm not sure how the DNS resolution in this is supposed to work - in your example, you're mapping to demo.boult.me but presumably you have to set that with a CNAME to something inside Cloudflare first.
I agree that there are less complicated solutions like ngrok or localtunnel that can achive the same thing but if you already use cloudflare it's another option to try out.
When you login to cloudflared CLI you select a domain on your account to use. The second command will create the CNAME for you but you can manually configure it AFAIK.

Ah, so you need to have a domain managed by Cloudflare already, gotcha.
