Ack, Port is still closed after check.
The IP address provided by NOIP (not my bare IPV4 address I see in ipconfig), as been added with both TCP and UDP in my Port Forwarding list on Verizon’s gateway as is marked Active.
I added the hostname from NOIP to Verizon’s gateway Dynamic DNS.
This port 28967 is checked as Closed on that IP address even after doing that.
