Help Needed with Cloudflare Zero Trust, Pages, and Workers for ReactFlux + MiniFlux Setup

Hi everyone,

I'm new to #Cloudflare and have been trying to set up a #SelfHosted project on my #RaspberryPi 500. I'm mostly self-taught, so I apologize if I misunderstand anything or miss important details. Here's my situation:

Current Setup

I'm running the self-hosted #RSS feed reader #MiniFlux on my Raspberry Pi 500 (#ArchLinuxARM, installed via Pacman).
The setup uses #Caddy as a reverse proxy, a #CloudflareZeroTrust tunnel, and Cloudflare Access for SSO.
My #CloudflareAccess application is configured to allow all origins, methods, and headers. It has a policy that allows specific emails or login methods (e.g., GitHub).

What I'm Trying to Do

I want to deploy ReactFlux, an alternative frontend for MiniFlux, on #CloudflarePages.
Before setting it up fully, I tested the ReactFlux demo with my MiniFlux instance at https://rss.laniecarmelo.tech. However, ReactFlux couldn't log in.

Suspected Issue

I believe the issue is caused by Cloudflare Access protection blocking ReactFlux from accessing the MiniFlux API (https://rss.laniecarmelo.tech/v1/*).

What I've Tried So Far

I added another hostname (rss.laniecarmelo.tech/v1/*) to my tunnel configuration and created a new Cloudflare Access application with a policy set to "Bypass" for everyone. However, this didn't work—when testing the API endpoint in a private browser window, I'm still asked to sign into Cloudflare.

I also tried setting up the hostname with "Protect with Access" turned off but got the same results.

Next, I attempted to use a #CloudflareWorker written in JavaScript to bypass authentication for /v1/*, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything (or isn't being triggered).

What I Need Help With

How can I properly configure Cloudflare so ReactFlux can access the MiniFlux API (/v1/*) while keeping the rest of my MiniFlux instance protected by Cloudflare Access?
I've been stuck on this for a couple of days and would really appreciate any guidance or suggestions!

Thanks in advance for your help!
