Lokinet requires some elevated permissions to run (to be able to set up the lokinet network tunnel device). Normally these are granted by the systemd service when lokinet runs as a service, because that is a nice clean way to provide it only to the service, but as I see you're using a systemd-protest distribution you'll need to grant those permissions differently, and probably somewhat less securely. One way is to use setcap on the binary as a sort of selective setuid, as mentioned in the documentation here.
