Wouldnt this be against what is stated in the config ?
If you have a 'split' directory installation, with configuration
# files in ~/.i2p (Linux), %LOCALAPPDATA%\I2P (Windows),
# or /Users/(user)/Library/Application Support/i2p (Mac), be sure to
# edit the file in the configuration directory, NOT the install directory.
# When running as a Linux daemon, the configuration directory is /var/lib/i2p
# and the install directory is /usr/share/i2p .
Wouldnt we lose the changes when i2p is updated/reinstalled?
I would say no, since we need to wait for Tor first anyway and to not waste system resources for People who dont use i2p.
Connecting doesnt take that long so it wont be a benefit to autostart.
It should be close to zero when not in use because we are not routing other peoples traffic
Did you check a fresh Router without Userinput? I would guess the only traffic that is send/recv without any input is the first Reseeding.
Not sure, i’ll take a look. Maybe @eyedeekay can help , can someone ping him on git ?
