ZT is using Wireguard Network. how to prevent?

i have 2 VPN, Zerotier and WireGuard for Site to Site backup and remote access.
i’m not the only one using it so i use Wireguard as backup in case someone messed up and locked me up from accessing the Site
i’m confuse onto why when i upload files from Site A to Site B using Zerotier (using IP), Wireguard Interface would be the one active (BW out in Wireguard Interface and CPU in Profile)

Mikrotik Site A
Local IP 192.168.10.0/24
Mikrotik Site B
Local IP 192.168.168.0/24

Zerotier IP Mikrotik Site A: 10.242.1.1
Zerotier IP Mikrotik Site B: 10.242.1.2

WireGuard IP Site A: 192.168.32.1
WireGuard IP Site B: 192.168.32.2

When i Upload using 10.242.1.2, the Wireguard Interface got the Tx which means i use Wireguard (profile get the same result WG cpu is up) instead of Zerotier.
This occur only when i am uploading from Site A to Site B not the Opposite
both Mikrotik is RB5009
Capture
all ZT point is direct

Your Zerotier traffic is traveling through the Wireguard interface.
To prevent this, you could use local.conf to blacklist the Wireguard interface.

Just found a solution, in mikrotik you cant use local conf but there’s an option in the controller to use only zerotier interface
Using other interface will result lower performance in my case about 10Mbps BW drop from the usual 50Mbps BW
