Encrypting Virtual-Box - SanctualProductions - Oct 9, 2016
Can you use veracrypt to encrypt virtual-box or do you have to use the built in encryption function?
I'm just looking for the best security

You can use anything you want. Just install the software inside the vm and click encrypt

I just run an LVM encrypted Ubuntu machine, I find that works for me very well.

I wouldn't think it is needed, but I guess I can see your concern.🤝

I personally use VMWare which has an encryption thing of it's own that I use. If you don't mind starting over, or looking up how to switch from vbox to vmware(i don't think it's terribly hard from the tutorials I've seen) you could go and try it.

Im not sure about vbox because I don't use it, and I haven't found anyone to try and rip my vm apart with the encrypted part enabled but I suppose if you use a very long password with symbols and shit, you'll be good.
use strong generator website

I just tried to use the encryption function within virtual-box but it doesn't work I'm on linux so I possibly need to download something extra I have no idea
