SRT from OBS to remote server

Hello! I'm having an SRT problem that I hope someone can help me with. It's fine using it to go to VLC with this as the Stream output:

srt://127.0.0.1:5000?mode=listener

However, I'm trying to connect to a remote server (vMix on Amazon) and only ever get "Invalid Path or Connection URL". I have the remote machine (this is not the real IP address) to be in listener mode on port 5500, so in OBS I use:

srt://203.0.113.111:5500

Should I expect that to work? I haven't specified a stream key on the remote machine, it doesn't look like it's even getting to a handshake or anything. In my OBS log, I get these lines:

14:28:21.793: Couldn't open 'srt://203.0.113.111:5500', Unknown error occurred
14:28:21.793: ffmpeg_data_init failed
14:28:21.793: [ffmpeg-encoded-output: 'adv_stream'] Connection to srt://203.0.113.111:5500 failed: -1


Can anyone here help me?

In case anyone else comes up against this... the port needed to be explicitly opened in the Amazon interface, and not just on the Windows server.
