With a help of Auster from fido7.ru.unix.bsd I solved my problem.

I replace
route add -host 217.21.51.32 192.168.0.133
with
route add -net 217.21.51.32/32 192.168.0.133
where 217.21.51.32 is my VPN server.

I don't understand what happens, but it works for me and probably will
work for you too.

Can anybody explain what is a difference between
route add -host remotehost router
and
route add -net remotehost/32 router
under NetBSD?
