…ompatibility The 'pref' keyword is not supported by Android's ip command, causing routing rules to fail silently on boot. This prevented ZeroTier traffic from being routed through the ztyg2zjccj interface on Android 14+ devices. Changed 'pref 1' to 'priority 1' in lib.sh __start() function to ensure main routing table is consulted before Android's default policy rules (priority 10000+). Fixes issue where ZeroTier shows connected but cannot ping other peers (100% packet loss) despite correct routing table configuration. Tested on: - Device: Infinix X6833B (Android 14, API 34) - Architecture: arm64-v8a - ZeroTier: 1.14.2 - Module: zerotier-magisk-aarch64-gcc-SSO-e2c0c3a - IP command: iproute2-ss171113

Summary
Fix ZeroTier connectivity on Android 14+ devices by replacing unsupported 'pref' keyword with 'priority' in ip rule commands.
Problem
After installing zerotier-magisk on Android 14 (API 34), ZeroTier service was running and connected, but pinging other devices resulted in 100% packet loss. The routing table showed correct routes, but they weren't being used.
Root Cause
The Magisk module's
service.shscript attempted to add a high-priority routing rule:The
prefkeyword is not supported by Android'sipcommand (correct keyword ispriority), causing these commands to fail silently on every boot. Without this rule, Android's default policy routing rules (priority 10000+) took precedence.Solution
Changed
pref 1topriority 1inmagisk/lib.sh__start() function.Testing
Verified:
ip rule add from all lookup main priority 1works correctly
