whew... nice

Regarding my internet-connection problem:

After futzing around with the computer and my phone for a bit (more like two hours), I discovered the problem was my VPN, which had apparently gone wonky after three weeks of inactivity. It was just a matter of shutting the VPN off, then turning it back on again. So: no PC방 needed for Kevin, and no internet tech needed, either. Also: no need to turn my phone into a WiFi hotspot. The hotspot thing wasn't working anyway: the wonky VPN made the phone's WiFi emissions unrecognizable to my desktop. Machines are weird. Mere inactivity is enough to make them go strange.

ADDENDUM: I might still hit a coffee shop or PC방, though, given how slow my apartment's WiFi connection is. SpeedTest.net says my download speed is a limp 87.89 Mbps, and my upload speed is an utterly flaccid and unresponsive 30.23 Mbps. I guess this building's internet service is as old as the building is.
