Probably the most important feature of PC-BSD 10.1.2 is the addition of the new PersonaCrypt utility, which allows users to move entire Home directories to an encrypted USB flash drive. It comes with a Stealth Mode that offers support for login in into an empty Home directory that is encrypted with a one-time GELI key, which will be discarded at logout. Also, a new Tor mode in PC-BSD 10.1.2 allows users to force the built-in firewall to run a transparent proxy, which will block all traffic with the exception of the one that is routed through the Tor anonymous network.
