To change the system DNS options the app requires android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission. There are multiple ways to provide it.

Automatic (Shizuku)

Install and start Shizuku.
Start the app and allow Shizuku access when prompted.

Manual

For the app to work properly you'll need to provide it permissions via ADB:

Get to your PC and download platform tools from google here.
Extract the tools, and open terminal in the same directory (Windows guide, macos guide).
Turn on USB Debugging on your phone (This may require different steps, for Xiaomi you also have to enable USB Debugging (Security settings), but generally this video guide should work on most phones)
Connect your phone to your PC
Run this command in the terminal

./adb shell pm grant ru.karasevm.privatednstoggle android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

That's it, you should have the app installed.
