VPN connection to do the replication with server VPN role
I am adding a branch location to my main office. I have a domain server in the HQ and now adding a domain server in the branch office and will set up a site-to-site AD replication.
I will need a VPN connection to do the replication; I do not want to replace my routers to a VPN router, rather would install the server VPN role and make a VPN connection between both host servers.
The domain server is a hyper-v server
Is this something you would recommend?

I *dont* recommend installing remote access roles on a domain controller.
And truthfully, even the lowest of low end business class routers do site-to-site VPNs (SonicWall TZ-1xx, watch guard,"edge" devices, etc.)
Which makes me at least suspect that. If you'd have to replace your router(s), they are consumer-class devices and probably should be replaced. Even if you aren't needing VPN. This is just a good sign that you are using the wrong tool for the job.
