You may try WireGuard and use ddns

Hi David,

My understanding is that Wireguard is software available for general
purpose operating systems. I specifically need a set of hardware
network appliances. I don't overly care which protocol they're running
as long as an initiator stuck behind a nat box I don't control can
maintain a connection with a hub and handle speeds in the100mbps to
10gbps.

How about running ZeroTier on those Linux boxes and call it a day?

I specifically cannot use general purpose Linux machines for this. I
need network appliances.

I specifically need an integrated network appliance, not software I
add to something.

I love my Linux-based VPN servers but my customer very specifically
said no. I can't publicly explain why but trust me when I say it's a
"hard no" and it's not a question of persuasion or education. My
customer understands and likes Linux but he simply cannot use it this
time.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
