How to SSH into a Linux server that is connected to NordVPN?

Here’s my current setup:

Linux machine running Ubuntu Server hosting a bunch of apps through Docker Compose. The apps are made available externally using Cloudflare Tunnels as a reverse proxy, and the cloudflared service is running alongside all other Docker Compose apps as well.

When I want to make changes to my server configuration, I usually SSH locally into the server using its private internal IP. How can I connect the server to NordVPN using the command line while still allowing me to SSH into the server with its local IP? Also, will connecting to NordVPN break Cloudflare Tunnels?
