This is trying to add a route to 168.156.242.177 via 168.156.242.177.
That isn't going to work. Since the box is identifying it self as
168.156.242.177 it would appear that it is the gw value that is wrong
i.e. the leftnexthop entry in your ipsec.conf is wrong. Do :-

  $ route -n

and set leftnexthop to whatever the Gateway entry is for your 0.0.0.0
Destination.

As long as the netmask is 255.255.255.255 (which it is) then -net is
means the same as -host.
