Hi Martin, if I have unterstood your question, that's perfectly possible, as fabric uses SSH to access remote servers and execute tasks. So, if you create a reverse tunnel as this:
ssh -R localhost:5555:localhost:22 your_server You can use fabric as this on *your_server*: fab -H localhost --port 5555 your_task If you're using fabric from another server that access to *your_server*, you must configure the sshd daemon on *your_server* to allow you to create sockets that listens for remote connections. I think it's not allowed by default. Also, your reverse tunnel should be done like this: ssh -R your_server:5555:localhost:22 your_server or ssh -R *:5555:localhost:22 your_server And fabric command would be: fab -H your_server --port 5555 your_task Hope it helps!
