FFS and encrypted external HDD files

[alstr]

First, thanks for the great software.

Since I started using it a week or so ago, I've been looking at how I can secure the contents of the external HDD I'm currently mirroring with my internal one.

I've done a few searches on the forum and can see there are various mentions of encryption, and I'm aware that FFS does not offer this as a built-in feature, which is fine.

I am just wondering how others have achieved some kind of encryption and what tools they have used to do this. I am assuming that this will be some kind of file-level encryption so that FFS can still access the external disk, and that some extra third-party software will be required. Various posts here mention TrueCrypt, which is no longer going, so I am just trying to get an idea of how others are achieving this today.

I am using macOS. Thanks in advance.

VeraCrypt is the current replacement to TrueCrpyt

Seems to be working well so far, thanks for the tip.
