adb-reverse: Remove a reverse socket connections from an emulator or device.
$ adb reverse --remove tcp:${remote_port}
try on your machine

The command "adb reverse --remove tcp:${remote_port}" is used to remove a reverse port forwarding that was previously set up using ADB.

Explanation:

  • "adb" stands for Android Debug Bridge, a command-line tool that is part of the Android SDK.
  • "reverse" is a subcommand of ADB that allows you to set up reverse port forwarding.
  • "--remove" is an option used to remove an existing reverse port forwarding.
  • "tcp:${remote_port}" is the specifier for the reverse port forwarding that you want to remove. ${remote_port} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual port number.

Basically, this command is used to remove a reverse port forwarding rule that was previously established. Reverse port forwarding allows you to access a port on your Android device from your computer. By removing the rule, you terminate this connection.
