Description

Here is my current setup, and configuration for Kubo.

I am running into an issue where my Wan DHT has 0 entries ipfs stats dht. My guess is ipfs doesn't record peers found thorugh 127.0.0.1? Is there a way to re-configure my node to allow for better content discovery and provides? If not this is a feature request.

I realized that outgoing traffic still using local network... Solved this by using a vpn
