Unprivileged user (non-root) cannot run a process that is listening on port below 1024. That's why the nignx's master process must have root privileges.
Short answer to your question is: you don't.

desproxy-dns
desproxy-dns(1) User Commands desproxy-dns(1)
NAME
desproxy-dns - DNS for dynamic connections
SYNOPSIS
desproxy-dns dns_server proxy_host proxy_port
OPTIONS
None
DESCRIPTION
If you have direct DNS access then you don't need to do anything else. You know you have direct DNS access if you can resolve host names
to IP addresses.
NOTE: as desproxy-dns listens in port 53 (which is less than 1024) you may need administrator privileges to exec desproxy-dns (in fact if
you are running UN*X, you actually have to run desproxy-dns as root).
OK, so you have a dns server accessible now. But your computer doesn't know anything about that. You must configure your network
accordingly (again, need to be root in UN*X).
Edit /etc/resolv.conf and add the line "nameserver 127.0.0.1". You don't have to restart anything. Just test ping and see if it works.
ENVIRONMENT
None.
FILES
None.
SEE ALSO
dnsproxy(1), ping(1)
