I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 and it report having DDClient 3.8.2-2ubuntu2. We own a domain in google domains and have added the synthetic record but so far zero success in getting it to update through DDClient. Anyone know what'g going wrong? Can you share a working example? I'm copying and pasting username, password and domain name so I can't have a typo in them.
First error sounds to me like it can't find the A record mentioned, but I'm sure it exists.

This one is using the "preferred" method with DDClient that supports google DNS but it sounds like the one that's included in Ubuntu 16.04 doesn't? Why not??
