This is not really a Proxmox question or issue. But since we live and breathe in IT, just wanted to see what others uses.

I have been a hardcore TrueCrypt user for some time. With recent death of this project, i am trying to find an alternate solution to store sensitive data such as network map, spreadsheets etc.
1. If you are TrueCrypt user what did you replace it with?
2. What other program do you use for frequent encryption/decryption such as opening a spreadsheet to look for an user password?

For the time being i converted my files to 7z ZIP with encryption enabled. Its a hassle to unzip, get the information, then delete. I also heavily use my mobile devices. All connected to a private cloud storage. So if i can put an encrypted container on the cloud which is accessible by any device would be ideal.
 
Go on using TC. It's still as safe as it was before the controversial discontinuation of the original project. The original project is discontinued but it has already been taken over. See: http://truecrypt.ch/

On Linux DMCrypt/LUKS is a good alternative. I'm using it for ZFS on Linux as encrypted backing devices with great success, too.

Hi,
for passwords I use an password-store-programm (like keepassx).
For more data dm-crypt (I love it) and for private data on my (own) nfs-server encfs (an subdir, which I mount if I needed it).

yea you can continue using TC for the time being, it just won't get any more upgrades / new features.


as for ZFS - ZFS actually has its own (transparent!) encryption built in, but not on ZFS on linux because they forked an outdated zpool version (because its the last one whichs code base got published)
