Laptop Practicality? (mander.xyz)

I'm new to I2P, so this post will probably contain misunderstandings.

Since I2P takes on the order of hours after initial launch to build out a usable network of tunnels, does it make sense to use on a laptop which is regularly being put to sleep? Does suspension of the machine (disconnection from the network) completely cut off all tunnel progress, and it needs to restart the building from scratch when awoken?

Is the only practical way to use I2P from a laptop to have it running on a separate machine which is on all the time and remote connecting to it, like shown here?

I don't think it takes hours to build a usable network. Obviously it's better for everyone to keep your router running, but for me it only takes a few minutes from startup to a usable I2P.

I'm using I2P from a laptop and it works well, but it also doesn't go to sleep when plugged in.

Yes I think I have now noticed this, thanks! I definitely want to be connected for as long as possible regardless, but good to see that in a pinch the network can be effectively used within a few minutes.

I wouldn't try to run an i2p node on a machine that frequently disconnects from the internet. For laptop access, I would run the i2p node in a virtual machine somewhere, and use a VPN to connect the laptop to the node.

Yes ideally I would like to do this, I just can't set that up at the moment. For now though yeah I wouldn't spin it up on my laptop if I thought I would be opening/closing it frequently throughout the day.
