[Discuss] NAS Folder Encryption



I don?t know the answer but often it is a simple one.  I recently just changed how I backup my personal files.  It took me a month to figure out a solution that is satisfactory and it?s dead simple.  YMMV.

Since I have RAID and plenty of space, I would like to store sensitive info on it but I worry that a hacker could eventually penetrate in the system.  I originally was thinking to create a user with the wan access only and one other user for lan access but of course that will not work since the lan user will also have access to the wan.  I'm reading about SSL, VPN you name it, still think they are ok but not that perfect.  Then I started thinking about a folder encryption and store these documents there.  I know Truecrypt is not longer a solution, what do you think you would do, i.e. bestcrypt, not store sensitive info there at all, use other ways that I did not mention here.
