Could you make a config for OpenVPN version 2.3.4 and then see if it works, if not post that please and hopefully with a few edits we can get it working
I created the config using OpenVPN 2.3
I attached a copy of the Torguard config generator settings I used.
Here is a copy of the error log:
Wed Jul 14 18:27:36 2021 RESOLVE: Cannot resolve host address: us-atl.torguard.com:1912 (Name or service not known)

Here's a copy of the config:
