"Mullvad's encrypted DNS solution is available free of charge for everyone. The company advises customers of its DNS service, which is available for a flat-fee of 5 EUR per month, not to use the encrypted DNS service as the DNS resolver of the VPN server is handling this automatically. The performance of connections could be slower, if users make the switch."
This nonsense was written either by an AI or a drunk.
Maybe the second "DNS" should be "VPN":
The DNS is free. They advise users of their paid VPN not to use this DNS service as it already uses it behind the scenes.

i like that they have a public repo with the details on how their blocklists are compiled and what's in them.
Or someone with a hangover and a word count
What does that even mean lol
Just FYI there's a standard monthly fee for use of mullvad. This will probably be a feature expansion and will run under that same fee.
Which means this whole paragraph is utter garbage.
Edit: my bad, I stand corrected.
I use mullvad and I'm too dumb to understand what this means. Can one of lemmy's many IT experts ELI5?
This makes it harder for russian military to steal one of Mullvad servers to track your porn usage over VPN - once they unplug it, all links to porn will be gone.
From what I understand it means there’s no persistence on disk of any traffic/data, it’s entirely in memory, so less risk of data being stolen or leaked
Great news

This older comment explains how ECH works.
ECH is technically unrelated to DoH, ECH is a HTTP extension not a DNS extension. But it uses the DoH encryption because it can't use the HTTP encryption because of the chicken-and-egg problem explained in that comment, so... it basically latched onto DoH as a solution and in doing that tied the two together.
And to answer your question, DoH is usable on its own without ECH because ECH is not needed for DNS. But ECH is strongly desirable for HTTP, and it also requires DoH, so that's why Mozilla for example activated then as a package deal in Firefox (both or neither).
Ya don't say.
I need an adult.
Sounds like Douglas Adams
What the heck just happened?
Those certainly are words.
Catch-22 or Gravity's Rainbow, if my memory of books I've read once is still accurate.
