OpenVPN is using WAN IP instead of custom DDNS hostname for client.ovpn

[KLM_SpitFire]

I registered a custom hostname with DuckDNS and configured my router (fw 380.64_2) to keep it updated using the instructions found here https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/Custom-DDNS. Everything seems to be working, and when looking at the router's log file it would appear the router successfully completes custom DDNS updates. However, when I export an OpenVPN client file through the GUI and view the contents of the file, the line in the file specifying the remote and port contains my router's WAN address, not the custom DDNS hostname I set. If I manually edit this file my VPN client connects perfectly fine, but the process is a bit tedious if I frequently generate new client files.

Help? Lol.

The DDNS settings (under WAN) are set as follows...
Server: Custom
Host Name: notmyrealsubdomain.duckdns.org
