Guacamole JFrog Connect ngrok Mender.io Epoptes Thanos.io DietPi
  1. Access your computers from anywhere. Because the Guacamole client is an HTML5 web application, use of your computers is not tied to any one device or location. As long as you have access to a web browser, you have access to your machines.
    Setup Guacamole. It handles SSH, VNC, and RDP via HTML5. Works fine with LDAP or even Active Directory authentication. Apache Guacamole - https://guacamole.apache.org/ I think you can preload a database with connections also so you could likely automate most of this away.

    Considering the edit, I would suggest some sort of ingress as a service, assign each unit an ID, and use something like ngrok https://ngrok.com/ to provide some connectivity and route to an ID. Direct interface the devices from there.
