I’d be interested to know if there are freepers out there who use GPG/PGP.
It’s not good crypto unless the source code for the algorithms are fully documented, preferably by source.

I do. And I also have a copy of the PGP book, purchased when there was all the discussion in government circles about embargoing encryption. I still remember all the legal eagles saying that publishing the algorithms in book form trumps the embargo of source.
Remember the T-shirts that had DECSS printed on them?
Says the guy that keyed Small C from Dr. Dobbs those many years go.
Absolutely yes. Have used it since the late 90's for all sorts of things. Originally PhilZ's PGP, then when it got bought out, I had licenses for the PGP commercial product, and eventually converted over to GnuPG (GPG) and have used that since.
Started out with 2048-bit keys, now only use 4096.
I believe in it, and frankly it's the one I trust the most. And even it gets bug fixes from time to time (via Ubuntu apt-get).
Nothing's perfect but GnuPG is pretty damn good.
