 ## React Native
 
 Libp2p can be used in React Native applications. However, there are some limitations and considerations to take into account as not all transports are supported and some of the underlying dependencies may not work as expected. There is on-going work to address these issues, particularly around the support of TCP. For a demo on how to use libp2p in a React Native application, see https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/js-libp2p-react-native

+# Troubleshooting
+
+This guide lists common issues you may encounter when running `js-libp2p`, along with steps to diagnose and resolve them using existing logs, events and configuration.
+
+## Enable debug logging
+
+- Node:
+
+```bash
+# all libp2p debug logs
+DEBUG="libp2p:*" node my-script.js
+
+# focus on connection dialing and common network components
+DEBUG="libp2p:connection-manager:dial-queue,libp2p:tcp,libp2p:websockets,libp2p:webtransport,libp2p:kad-dht" node my-script.js
+```
+
+- Browser:
+
+```js
+// all libp2p debug logs
+localStorage.setItem('debug', 'libp2p:*')
+
+// focus on connection dialing and common network components
+localStorage.setItem('debug', 'libp2p:connection-manager:dial-queue,libp2p:websockets,libp2p:webtransport,libp2p:kad-dht')
+// then refresh the page
+```
+
+Logger namespaces used by components include:
+
+- `libp2p:tcp` (`@libp2p/tcp`)
+- `libp2p:websockets` (`@libp2p/websockets`)
+- `libp2p:webtransport` (`@libp2p/webtransport`)
+- `libp2p:kad-dht` (`@libp2p/kad-dht`)
+- `libp2p:connection-manager:dial-queue`
+
+## Common issues
+
+### No transport available for address
+
+Symptoms:
+
+- Error originating from the transport manager similar to:
+
+```text
+No transport available for address /<proto>/...
+```
+
+This occurs when you try to listen on or dial a Multiaddr for which no transport is configured. For example, `/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/0` requires `@libp2p/tcp`, `/ws` requires `@libp2p/websockets`, and `/webtransport` requires `@libp2p/webtransport`.
+
+Actions:
+
+- Ensure the corresponding transport is added to `transports` when creating the node.
+- Verify the Multiaddr protocol matches an enabled transport.
+- Enable component logs to see selection and listen errors:
+
+```bash
+DEBUG="libp2p:tcp,libp2p:websockets,libp2p:webtransport" node my-script.js
+```
+
+### Address reported as not dialable / dial failed
+
+Symptoms:
+
+- Dial attempts fail with logs like:
+
+```text
+libp2p:connection-manager:dial-queue dial failed to <multiaddr>
+```
+
+- Downstream components may log messages such as "could not dial".
+
+Actions:
+
+- Check that the peer’s addresses include a protocol supported by your configured transports.
+- Verify the address formatting (see next section) and that any required intermediaries (e.g. relays) are reachable.
+- Increase dial logs:
+
+```bash
+DEBUG="libp2p:connection-manager:dial-queue,libp2p:tcp,libp2p:websockets,libp2p:webtransport" node my-script.js
+```
+
+### Invalid Multiaddr format
+
+Symptoms:
+
+- Errors like:
+
+```text
+Can't convert to IpNet, Invalid multiaddr format: <addr>
+```
+
+Actions:
+
+- Validate that the string is a correct Multiaddr. Construct addresses using `@multiformats/multiaddr` where possible to avoid typos.
+- Ensure all required protocol parts are present (e.g. `/ip4/.../tcp/...`, `/dns4/.../tcp/.../ws`).
+
+### WebTransport is not supported in Node.js
+
+Symptoms:
+
+- Attempting to configure, dial, or listen using WebTransport in Node.js does not work.
+
+Context:
+
+- In Node.js the WebTransport API is not available, so the transport does not enable dialing (it checks for a global `WebTransport`) and does not support listening.
+
+Actions:
+
+- Do not use WebTransport in Node.js. Use supported transports such as TCP or WebSockets.
+- Use WebTransport only in environments that provide a `WebTransport` implementation.
+
+### Peer discovery does not emit events
+
+Symptoms:
+
+- You do not see `peer:discovery` or subsequent `peer:connect` events.
+
+Actions:
+
+- Ensure at least one discovery module is configured (e.g. `@libp2p/bootstrap`, `@libp2p/mdns`).
+- Listen for events to verify activity:
+
+```ts
+node.addEventListener('peer:discovery', (evt) => {
+	console.log('Discovered', evt.detail.id.toString())
+})
+
+node.addEventListener('peer:connect', (evt) => {
+	console.log('Connected to', evt.detail.toString())
+})
+```
+
+- Enable discovery-related logs (for example, DHT and transports) to see find/dial attempts:
+
+```bash
+DEBUG="libp2p:kad-dht,libp2p:tcp,libp2p:websockets,libp2p:webtransport" node my-script.js
+```
+
