'Edge' Server remote access (alien.top)

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

EDIT: Since the servers aren't reachable from the outside, the client (server i want to connect to) needs to initialize the connection to a central server (cloud server/ server in dc) so that I can connect to it.
Similar to a Server, Client, Agent structure where my notebook is the client, the 'edge' server is the agent and the dc/cloud server is the server (obviously)

You could set up your servers to connect to an internet reachable server via wireguard, use something like tailscale or a reverse ssh tunnel, though the latter might be a bit unstable on intermittent connection loss without any further measures.
