I read about Russian VPN situation from time to time, and any simple obfuscation attempts fail now. They had to invent more protocols, like TrustTunnel. Previous popular protocol was VLESS, and it used TCP.

TrustTunnel uses QUIC and possibly UDP, looks like similar to what is described in the article. So, I guess, Mullvad might work in DPI-heavy environments, but I wouldn't be as sure as author is. All I know it is becomes harder and harder to obfuscate VPN traffic in the countries with good hackers who work for the government.

VLESS is masquerading as a HTTPS website. QUIC will not work as UDP abroad is mostly blocked. UDP is mostly used for VPN and encrypted calls so no law abiding citizen needs UDP anyway.
