Describe the bug
I think this is not a bug but there is no option for just a question. Anyway here goes:
I'm trying to use the trycloudflare since i haven't purchased a domain yet.
I have to Windows 10 PCs:
On host side, i run this command:
cloudflared-windows-amd64.exe tunnel --url rdp://localhost:3389
which gives a url:
https://optional-archive-electric-uruguay.trycloudflare.com
On client side, i run this command:
cloudflared-windows-amd64.exe access rdp --hostname optional-archive-electric-uruguay.trycloudflare.com
No output was generated, it just executed then I was able to run another command like nothing happened, however, on host side:

if i try and run this command on the client side:
cloudflared-windows-amd64.exe access rdp --hostname optional-archive-electric-uruguay.trycloudflare.com --url localhost:3389
The output is:
2023-11-07T15:56:28Z INF Start Websocket listener host=localhost:3389
2023-11-07T15:56:28Z ERR Error on Websocket listener error="failed to start forwarding server: listen tcp 127.0.0.1:3389: bind: An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions."
failed to start forwarding server: listen tcp 127.0.0.1:3389: bind: An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions.
I know based on the documentation, there should be a hostname for my domain, i'm just trying it out though.
