## # Circuit Relay example
##
## Circuit Relay can be used when a node cannot reach another node
## directly, but can reach it through a another node (the Relay).
##
## That may happen because of NAT, Firewalls, or incompatible transports.
##
## More informations [here](https://docs.libp2p.io/concepts/circuit-relay/).
