+## FLIPPER ports

 By default Flipper runs its servers on ports 8088 and 8089, and the mobile SDKs look for servers on those ports.
 
 Each of these can be overridden by setting an environment variable, with the format `${INSECURE_PORT},${SECURE_PORT}`.

 To configure the iOS SDK for custom ports, set the FLIPPER_PORTS environment variable in your app launch script.
+
+## METRO SERVER PORTS
+
+You can also setup Flipper to use a different Metro Server port (default=8081) using this environement variable:
+
+```
+METRO_SERVER_PORT=3333 ./flipper
+```
+
+## ADB REVERSE PROXY PORTS
