OpenVPN connect shows server public ip but computer is current location

I am using OpenVPN Connect on a windows 11 laptop.
I connect and the OpenVPN Connect Profile Server Public IP shows the ip address of my home.
When I check my current ip address on https ://www.whatismypublicip.com/ I get the ip address of my current location.
I am using noip on an Archer C5400x router. Any idea how to get my home ip address?

The connection script is:

client
dev tun
proto udp
float
nobind
cipher AES-128-CBC
comp-lzo adaptive
resolv-retry infinite
remote-cert-tls server
persist-key
persist-tun
remote xxxxxxxxxxxx.hopto.org 1194
<ca>
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
</ca>
<cert>
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
</cert>
<key>
-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
-----END PRIVATE KEY-----
</key>

Hey man, does your Archer C5400x router is your OpenVPN server? If yes, does the Public IPs of your Archer C5400x router and your Windows 11 are both different or the same?
