You could have autossh launch on boot to login to a 'only ssh' account
on your computer. The ssh keys on the Pi's SD card would still give
your clients access to your local network but I guess there's no way
around that. You could then forward the port of the ssh server on the
raspberry pi or whatever else you wanted.

Anyways then the only thing you'd have to worry about is if their
network setup required proxy settings (you can ssh over a http proxy
that allows SSL, but it'd requiring knowing the settings ahead of
time). But it would have no problem with NAT.
