I get the idea in principle, DNS over HTTPS (I don't understand every detail, but at a super high level, I get it), but installing the profile doesn't actually change my DNS provider? Like, I installed the profile, but I still have my old DNS settings in the Network tab (I was using 1.1.1.1). I thought it was going to take over and use Mullvad's DNS settings. Can they provide the DNS over https, but using someone else's DNS?

Kind of confused.
