Description

It would be very useful to have a mode where you can run ipfs entirely over relayed connections. This would allow lower powered devices to be able to interact with the ipfs network more easily.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Begin by locating Kubo's connection configuration and relayed-connection support, then determine how a relay-only mode should be exposed. Done means lower-powered devices can run Kubo using relayed connections without relying on direct connections.
