I found two things: 1...there really was no reason to use the proxy server
for the mqtt calls. So I took it out of line, and just ran the request
through the cloudflare tunnel. Worked like a charm.
2. Using a userid and password for authentication for mqtt works...but the
credentials show up as clear text in the javascript. So no real security
there. Easier to just use an anonymous mqtt server. It's just weather
data.
