PC-BSD 10.1.2 To Add Tor Mode, LibreSSL & Other Features

Written by Michael Larabel in BSD on 4 March 2015 at 04:38 PM EST. 10 Comments

The PC-BSD developers have shared some of the upcoming features for their next release, PC-BSD 10.1.2. While it's just a point release on top of FreeBSD, PC-BSD continues adding a lot of interesting, desktop-oriented innovations to their BSD distribution.

PC-BSD 10.1.2 is set to add PersonaCrypt as a CLI utility for encrypting user's home directories to external media, easy switching to/from Tor Mode, a stealth mode for users, switching to LibreSSL by default over OpenSSL, and encrypted back-ups support.

More details on the features coming to PC-BSD 10.1.2 can be found via the PC-BSD blog.
