It turns out it was just that my Mullvad VPN app didn't turn "Local Network Sharing" back ON when it updated. I thought the VPN may have done something, but couldn't recall what setting to check. (been slightly stressed out in the last few weeks, mostly lack of sleep.)

My apologies for late reply, I wish I knew how to connect via SSH or Telnet, as I only really know Windows. Any places to get basic guides on SSH'ing to the server would be helpful below.

Thanks for the replies.

Thanks, I will look it up, though I have read differing things about how it is for advanced users, which I am definitely NOT one. If someone can get that working in Unraid (with an 'Unraid package'?) and post instructions for future novices, that would be great.
 
On a side note, Ugh. I was going to use the Recycle Bin in Unraid -> Settings a long time ago, but when I didn't see my shares show up in the 'Shares' section after turning it on and clicking apply, I thought I did not have my shares set up properly and turned it off.
 
I didn't realize that it only shows something in the 'Shares' section AFTER you have deleted something, not when just turning it on. I hope this bit of knowledge helps someone else coming from Windows who may miss that point.
