Is it possible to get an SSL certificate for a free-tier ddns domain?
I am trying to do a dns challenge with acme using lets encrypt though traefik reverse proxy.

I see the following error in my logs:
failed to add record to <domain>: API error: 505: Validation Exception: Invalid node name.

I don't see anything in the API documentation mentioning this kind of error.
Can anyone help?

thank you
