As someone else who used to host via an open port, you get random connections all the time. Almost constantly and the request paths make it obvious they are scanning for vulnerabilities. Via cloud flare the number of those requests is much lower, as they have to know at least the DNS to do so, (and can't guess it from a presented SSL cert.)
Yeah, I see random https and other connections all the time blindly scanning for vulnerabilities. Not enough to cause any real problems though. One time I publicly exposed redis or rabbitmq (can't remember which) and didn't set a password, so someone set a password for me :). That's about the worst that's happened to me.
