    After configuration…can you start browsing right away? I thought you had to wait several hours or more before you could actually use it.

      You can start as soon as the pipes ore built which is around 15 mins or less but for the network to be quicker it can take a few hours as you say.

        good to know. Can I keep something permanently connected…or is that a bad idea?

          This is the main problem i2p has compared to TOR. There isn’t nearly as many resources as expected for help in using i2p. Tor has easy to use things like the preconfigured Tor browser and TAILS, but as far as I know i2p doesn’t really have these things. I would love a preconfigured TAILS like distro with browser and torrent client for i2p torrents.

          When you load up I2p it has a directory of places you can go off the bat. Then there are some search engines aswell for you to use.
