A tethered jailbreak means your device needs to be connected to a computer running Checkra1n to boot up after each restart. If your iPhone 8 Plus loses power or restarts, you'll need to connect it to your computer and run Checkra1n to re-enable the jailbreak. This is a key characteristic of Checkra1n.
