It looks like, that you have not defined any check_peroid for your host.
You could try to exclude the host of the vpn-service of the nagios
check via giving the host a check_period. Nagios should not run a check,
when there is no time period defined.
Can you report, whether a check_period for the host solved the problem.
The Docu misses exakt this point.
