Freeze cost is only one part. Not mentioned in this article are costs of temporary unfreeze. TransUnion used to/still does charge $10 for each unfreeze.

Thanks to the comments there I finally did. First I was excited with the possibility of setting up my home server. But after reading more, the complexity of the setup and required resources are way to much for my use case. I think this is g
