I have a 2G(down)/1G(up) fiber connection at home, and would like to host an arch mirror. I have an ubuntu box that is running 24x7.

However, I do not want to open ports directly to internet, will you guys accept an http(s) mirror behind a cloudflare argo tunnel? (https://www.cloudflare.com/products/tunnel/)

When I start the tunnel, I see connections made to SIN, HKG and ICN (Singapore, Hong Kong & Incheon / Seoul). I am physically in Hong Kong.

As a sample it is available at https://iusearchbtw.mywaifu.best/archlinux . I have synced it just a few minutes ago (upstream: rsync://mirror.xtom.com.hk/repo/archlinux/), but not set up automated syncs yet. Let me know if this kind of setup is acceptable!
This task depends upon

As long as the mirror works for end users, we do not care how you host it. So yes, using such a tunnel setup would be perfectly fine.

That being said, we already have a few mirror which use cloudflare as a caching frontend so I'm not sure if adding yet another mirror that uses cloudflare is worthwhile, but that's your call.
