Looking for tool for encryption of directories

[incloaknetwork]

Hi

I am looking for good encryption local-only folder tool.

I took a look on VeraCrypt but… I tried to find Linux install guide, but I can’t find it.

Official one for Microsoft (evil corp):
https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/Beginner%27s%20Tutorial.html

I run Linux

Secondly, how really secure VC? I need to store some really important information (journalism) and in my situation it MUST be encrypted and treated as highly classified information. It is really important.

I am journalist, so this is highly important n

Also… I read somewhere that VC supports chipper cascading. Is it true?

I really don’t have time to try everything myself, as if I will mess something up, I will be in whole ocean of trouble.

If you can recommend anything better, or help with this one I will be very pleased

And please, no “cloud” solutions like “CloudVault” or “Cryptomator”. It is too sketchy for this exact situation.

Hey @incloaknetwork, welcome to the forum!

Good choice staying away from cloud-based stuff for this use case.

I found these links that should help you get VeraCrypt working on Linux:

• VeraCrypt - Free Open source disk encryption with strong security for the Paranoid
• VeraCrypt - ArchWiki

The Arch wiki guide is especially helpful even if you’re not using Arch—it explains concepts clearly and has up-to-date tips.

Let us know your distro if you run into issues. Also, yes, for what I can see VeraCrypt does support cipher cascading (AES+Serpent+Twofish combos).

You’re in the right place.
