Hello everyone

I'm currently looking for a (centralized?) way to connect to my
'local' servers remotely.

I'm not looking for a Web-Based management software, but a way to ssh
into the servers that are behind a nat. Port forwarding on
firewalls/routers isn't an option since I don't have a dedicated IP.

I already took a look at Cloudflare tunnels and different VPN servers
but nothing fits.

Any ideas on what software i could use?

Thanks in advance

Tailscale should work in this scenario.

Thanks

I'd have the clients connect to the central server in a hub-and-spoke
VPN topology using something like WireGuard say.

Use the central host as either a jumphost or configure your personal
devices to also connect to it via VPN and have it handle routing so
you can connect directly to the clients once you're connected to the
central server. It's a somewhat standard topology.

Alternatively OpenZiti -
[https://github.com/openziti](https://github.com/openziti). It has
similarities to Tailscale/Headscale with an opinion on being more
deny-by-default and 'zero trust' as well as SDKs so developers can
build it into their apps. The last bit if not relevant for you use
case but hey. I work on the project.

Check out [Netmaker](https://www.netmaker.io/) as well, works almost
similar to Tailscale but faster since Tailscale is userspace.

What's wrong with using Dynamic DNS?

My provider uses DSLite. So even when I use DDNS it would only work
over IPv6 (which isn’t an option for me)
