Mechanism in Kubo to Prevent Custom Transport for DHT
I am exploring the use of a custom transport in Kubo for certain operations. However, I am concerned about inadvertently using this custom transport for DHT (Distributed Hash Table) operations. Is there a mechanism within Kubo that can prevent my custom transport from being utilized for DHT tasks? Any insights or guidance on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

1The ability to use libp2p should not be hindered at the transport layer. However, the presence of filters may come into play depending on whether you are utilizing a public or private Distributed Hash Table (DHT). For instance, you can refer to the filters implemented in the dht_filters.go file of the libp2p/go-libp2p-kad-dht repository for more insights.
