Description
## What
Add a new debugging guide for public reachability based on the new command introduced. by https://github.com/ipfs/kubo/pull/11184
## Why
Public reachability is the bread and butter for IPFS nodes and necessary for the following things to work:
- **Direct data fetching**: Other nodes can fetch data directly from your node without NAT hole punching.
- **Browser access**: Web browsers can connect to your node directly for content retrieval.
- **DHT participation**: Your node can act as a DHT server, helping to maintain the distributed hash table and making content routing more robust.
Up until now, we didn't have any way to debug public reachability. https://github.com/ipfs/kubo/pull/11184 introduces a new command to Kubo which should help with this.
