This depends on, do you have enough bandwith. 
How GPO's are used, so make a plan before you deploy. 


> Use a second domain controller 
Possible, if you have the hardware, and the bandwith. 

> Vpn to first domain controller. (Using an Mikrotik router). 
Also possible.. 


> And how can you configure windows to use the vpn at startup?
Yes, you can, see: 
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-access/vpn/always-on-vpn/deploy/always-on-vpn-deploy 

But, i would recommend a Lan2Lan VPN. 

To give an idea.. 

I have multiple remote locations, where everyone login in the main office. 
No remote server, but, i have a 1 Gig  internet link.. 

I also recommend you to read :
