"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.

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.

"anyone can use mullvad public dns for free. their paid vpn service already uses it so don't set it up separately if you're a subscriber"

Thank you for translating. I use their service and am happy I don't need to make any changes.
