I had a TC file sent to me, I installed TC to open it.

I used to use TC a lot; many years ago.

But I remembered that there was some controversy a few years back.

Is there a replacement?

The ability to mount an encrypted filesystem and then send that file to someone is really useful.

It's my understanding that https://veracrypt.io/en/Downloads.html took over. That said, I'm curious to see what other people recommend.

    Why Truecrypt was abandoned is still one of those mysteries of FOSS.
