Truecrypt works, and until someone can prove to me that it’s been compromised I’ll stick with it. When used in conjunction with VPN, Firefox, start.duckduckgo, Onion browser (Tor), and Proton Mail, which I am setting up now, I feel that my electronic life will remain private.

TrueCrypt 6.0 Change Log
*Parallelized encryption/decryption on multi-core processors (or multi-processor systems). Increase in encryption/decryption speed is directly proportional to the number of cores and/or processors.
For example, if your computer has a quad-core processor, encryption and decryption will be four times faster than on a single-core processor with equivalent specifications (likewise, it will be twice faster on dual-core processors, etc.)
[View benchmark results]
*Ability to create and run an encrypted hidden operating system whose existence is impossible to prove (provided that certain guidelines are followed). For more information, see the section Hidden Operating System. (Windows Vista/XP/2008/2003)
For security reasons, when a hidden operating system is running, TrueCrypt ensures that all local unencrypted filesystems and non-hidden TrueCrypt volumes are read-only. (Data is allowed to be written to filesystems within hidden TrueCrypt volumes.)
Note: We recommend that hidden volumes are mounted only when a hidden operating system is running. For more information, see the subsection Security Precautions Pertaining to Hidden Volumes.
*On Windows Vista and Windows 2008, it is now possible to encrypt an entire system drive even if it contains extended/logical partitions. (Note that this is not supported on Windows XP.)
*New volume format that increases reliability, performance and expandability:
o Each volume created by this or later versions of TrueCrypt will contain an embedded backup header (located at the end of the volume). Note that it is impossible to mount a volume when its header is damaged (the header contains an encrypted master key). Therefore, embedded backup headers significantly reduce this risk. For more information, see the subsection Tools > Restore Volume Header.
Note: If the user fails to supply the correct password (and/or keyfiles) twice in a row when trying to mount a volume, TrueCrypt will automatically try to mount the volume using the embedded backup header (in addition to trying to mount it using the primary header) each subsequent time that the user attempts to mount the volume (until he or she clicks Cancel). If TrueCrypt fails to decrypt the primary header and then decrypts the embedded backup header successfully (with the same password and/or keyfiles), the volume is mounted and the user is warned that the volume header is damaged (and informed as to how to repair it).
o The size of the volume header area has been increased to 128 KB. This will allow implementation of new features and improvements in future versions and ensures that performance will not be impaired when a TrueCrypt volume is stored on a file system or device that uses a sector size greater than 512 bytes (the start of the data area will always be aligned with the start of a host-filesystem/physical sector).
For more information about the new volume format, see the section TrueCrypt Volume Format Specification.
Note: Volumes created by previous versions of TrueCrypt can be mounted using this version of TrueCrypt.
* Parallelized header key derivation on multi-core processors (one algorithm per core/thread). As a result, mounting is several times faster on multi-core processors. (Windows)
*Ability to create hidden volumes under Mac OS X and Linux.
*On Linux, TrueCrypt now uses native kernel cryptographic services (by default) for volumes encrypted in XTS mode. This increases read/write speed in most cases. However, the FUSE driver must still be used when the volume is encrypted in a deprecated mode of operation (LRW or CBC), or when mounting an outer volume with hidden-volume protection, or when using an old version of the Linux kernel that does not support XTS mode. (Linux)
Improvements:
*Up to 20% faster resuming from hibernation when the system partition/drive is encrypted. (Windows Vista/XP/2008/2003)
*Many other improvements. (Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux)
Removed features:
*Encrypted system partitions/drives can no longer be permanently decrypted using the TrueCrypt Boot Loader (however, it is still possible using the TrueCrypt Rescue Disk). (Windows Vista/XP/2008/2003)
Note: This was done in order to reduce the memory requirements for the TrueCrypt Boot Loader, which was necessary to enable the implementation of support for hidden operating systems.
Bug fixes:
*When Windows XP was installed on a FAT16 or FAT32 partition (as opposed to an NTFS partition) and the user attempted to encrypt the system partition (or system drive), the system encryption pretest failed. This will no longer occur.
*Many other minor bug fixes and security improvements (preventing e.g. denial-of-service attacks). (Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux)

TrueCrypt for Mac
TrueCrypt was a free and open-source disk encryption utility first launched in 2004. It can create a virtual encrypted disk within a file, or encrypt a partition or the whole storage device. Once encrypted, the data stored on a partition requires a password to access. TrueCrypt was a popular means of disk encryption on both Mac OSX and Windows operating systems with millions of users.
Why need TrueCrypt alternative for Mac?
Truecrypt.org released an official announcement on truecrypt.sourceforge.net while containing the following messages:
'WARNING: Using TrueCrypt is not secure as it may contain unfixed security issues.
This page exists only to help migrate existing data encrypted by TrueCrypt.
The development of TrueCrypt was ended in 5/2014 after Microsoft terminated support of Windows XP. Windows 8/7/Vista and later offer integrated support for encrypted disks and virtual disk images. Such integrated support is also available on other platforms (click here for more information). You should migrate any data encrypted by TrueCrypt to encrypted disks or virtual disk images supported on your platform.'
It is not only for Windows users, but for all of you who are using TrueCrypt, including Mac OS X and Linux users. Windows users can transfer to BitLocker, then how about Mac users?
TrueCrypt for macOS Mojave/High Sierra alternative: BitLocker for Mac
Truecrypt.org has suggested Windows users to transfer to BitLocker, but Microsoft didn't release BitLocker for Mac OS, how about Mac users? With the help of M3 BitLocker Loader for Mac, you still can use BitLocker if you are a cross-platform (Windows and Mac) user.
M3 BitLocker Loader for Mac is a brilliant and smart program which can open/access/mount BitLocker encrypted external hard drive and USB flash drive on Mac computer, but you need to create a BitLocker encrypted volume on Mac computer with M3 BitLocker Loader for Mac firstly. After that, you can read and write BitLocker encrypted volume with M3 BitLocker Loader for Mac under Mac computer.
Tutorial to encrypt USB flash drive with BitLocker on macOS & Mac OS X.
Linux Truecrypt Download
Step 1: Download and install M3 BitLocker Loader for Mac.
Step 2: Insert an external drive (such as external hard drive, USB drive, flash drive) into Mac computer.
Step 3: Launch M3 BitLocker Loader for Mac.
Step 4: Click 'Encrypt' button in toolbar.
Step 5: Select the partition which you want to encrypt and click Encrypt.
Step 6: Enter the password.
Step 7: Save the recovery key.
Step 8: Complete BitLocker drive encryption.
Truecrypt Mac Os
After encrypting external drive with BitLocker on Mac, you can use M3 BitLocker Loader for Mac to read/write BitLocker encrypted drive on Mac Mini, Mac Pro, MacBook, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac with macOS Catalina 10.15/Mojave 10.14/High Sierra 10.13/10.12 (Sierra) and Mac OS X 10.11/10.10/10.9/10.8 Operating Systems.
If I am a Linux cross-platform user, how to access BitLocker encrypted drive in Linux?
TrueCrypt alternative for Linux
M3 BitLocker Loader for Linux is a command line tool to encrypt USB flash drive or external hard drive with BitLocker, mount BitLocker encrypted drive in read-write mode.
