Question Encrypt /home directory

I have Arch installed but forgot to do the encrypt /home directory during installation. What is the most efficient way to catch it up?

I like to do it with cryptsetup.

The Arch Linux wiki is a wonderful resource that usually covers things like this question.

Suggest you read through it.
