$ ./build/wakucanary --address=/ip4/8.210.222.231/tcp/30303/p2p/16Uiu2HAm4v86W3bmT1BiH6oSPzcsSr24iDQpSN5Qa992BCjjwgrD --protocol=store --protocol=filter
$ echo $?
0

A node that can't be reached.

$ ./build/wakucanary --address=/ip4/8.210.222.231/tcp/1000/p2p/16Uiu2HAm4v86W3bmT1BiH6oSPzcsSr24iDQpSN5Qa992BCjjwgrD --protocol=store --protocol=filter
$ echo $?
