I used V2rayA to set up a transparent proxy in tproxy mode. Cause I need it to access internet.

We found/fixed this in the Determinate Nix Installer, too. It turns out the installer needs to pre-create /etc/tmpfiles.d: https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/blob/18d265a6ab4fe2b4e0317ee6b449d30178d53073/src/planner/linux.rs#L80-L85

Based on graham's comment, you could probably also follow the uninstall instructions (https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/installation/uninstall.html#linux), create the folder, and try installing again.

It's just a simple step, thanks a lot for help!
