DDNS setup is a little confusing

I have RBR750 Orbi. I acquired No-IP account and used the No-IP on the DDNS link within the advanced settings.I have one configured DDNS name (alejack12001.servebeer.com) from No-IP along with email and password. I then setup some port forwarding to access a file server that I have connected to the Orbi. I setup standard ports for https (443), vnc (5900), and ssh (22). When I try to access as test from some distance away from my house using my phone to the DDNS link and colon port number no connection is made; there is a block someplace preventing this connection from happening. What have I done wrong?

    After DDNS setup, port forwarding and exposing ports from an internal host can encounter many stumbling blocks.  Try going through the Port Forwarding FAQ steps to verify that the port is exposed (not Double NAT) and if Windows, it's not blocked by its firewall: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-WIFI-6-AX-AND-Wi-Fi-6E-AXE/Community-FAQ-My-Orbi-port-forwarding-doesn-t-work/td-p/1984296
