For default route 0/0 it's not recommended to put like:

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Ethernet0/0

it can work but will make your router got problem (memory leak) and crashing.
but for this fellow case, i believe this config:

ip route 192.168.3.1 255.255.255.255 Ethernet0/0

is safe because 192.168.3.1 it's only a hop away (ipsec tunnel)

but yeah, i agree with gert, don't point route to ethernet, my mistake and i apologize for it. :)
