I recently upgraded my router from the crappy one from Verizon to an Asus RT-AC88U. Among many other cool things that this router can do, it has support for running an OpenVPN server directly on it. I would like to make use of this feature, but I cannot get it to work properly. Whenever I try to connect to the server from the router's local IP of 192.168.1.1, it works just fine, but whenever I try to use the No-IP subdomain that is set up to point to my network's IP address, it does not work. I expected that the router would do all necessary port forwarding to get the server to work on its own, but when that did not work, I added the following entry to the router's port forwarding settings.
Despite this, I still cannot get the VPN server to work. Here are the last few entries from the log file that was generated by the client that I was trying to connect to the server. For security reasons, I have replaced my IP address in the log file with [IP ADDRESS REDACTED].

Prior to getting this router, I ran an OpenVPN server on my Raspberry Pi on UDP 1194, but since my router has the ability to do so, I want to now run that server from my router and modify my Raspberry Pi's server to use TCP port 443 as a backup for when I am on networks that lock everything else down. It is worth noting that when my Raspberry Pi server was running on the new router, it was having the same problem that the one built in to the router is having, but since moving it to TCP 443, it works fine. Now all I need to do is get the one on my router working. Does anyone have any suggestions?
