Why is this self-made systemd service failed on CentOS 8.3 as "Failed with result 'protocol'"?

First, this issue becomes a problem only on CentOS8, while it works well on CentOS7. This is the version:

# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 8.3.2011

I tried to make a service to execute bash commands to change route. Here is the executable bash /root/route_degrade.sh:

#!/bin/bash
# ensure router role
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
systemctl start firewalld
firewall-cmd --add-masquerade
#firewall-cmd --add-port=1194/udp
firewall-cmd --add-service=openvpn

# degrade original default router to LAN only router
cloudroute=$(ip route | grep default | cut -d " " -f 3)
if [[ $cloudroute == 10.* ]]; then
  ip route add 10.0.0.0/8 via $cloudroute
  ip route del default
fi
exit 0

This executable is absolutely OK since I did execute it alone in root directory by ./route_degrade.sh.

and here is the autoinit.service in /usr/lib/systemd/system:

[Unit]
Description=Changes Default route to Route within cloud Permanently
After=firewalld.service
#Before=openvpn@Client_d.service


[Service]
Type=notify
ExecStart=/root/route_degrade.sh
PrivateTmp=true

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

But it keeps on failing, even after I reload the service files by systemctl daemon-reload and restart it, here is the status by systemd:

● autoinit.service - Changes Default route to Route within cloud Permanently
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/autoinit.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)

I don't know where is wrong, obviously it did execute the bash script and the firewall-cmd commands threw out success and it captures the exit code 0. So what does the Failed with result 'protocol' mean?

Oh my bad! I corrected this line in service file:`Type=oneshot` and it worked!

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
