OpenVPN through TP-link router AC1200 Error code 10054

Sneek

OpenVPN version: 2.4.7

My router supports OpenVPN and has it's own VPN server through the router itself. I have setup a DDNS and have confirmed that it is working and I am able to ping it with no issues. The issue here is that with my domain name in the remote section of the config file, I get the error code 10054. But when I remove it and put in the local ip address of my router, OpenVPN is able to connect without issues. I have disabled windows firewall and it still gives the error, so windows firewall is not the issue here I believe.

Here is my config file:

client
dev tun
proto udp
float
nobind
cipher AES-128-CBC
comp-lzo adaptive
resolv-retry infinite
persist-key
persist-tun
remote mydomain port
<ca>
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
</ca>
<cert>
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
</cert>
<key>
-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
-----END PRIVATE KEY-----
</key>

I did a little reading on what may cause the error and I think it has something to do with my ISP firewall causing conflicting issues?
Appreciate any help!

I'm trying to access the openVPN remotely that's not within the same network. For example, starbucks, campus wifi, etc

Your DDNS is not working.
