The thread opener has ask about the superlative. :-)

IMO a Windows Server with tor is some kind of overkill, but on a Pi 3
you could use Windows 10 core and give it a try. Also BSD variants would
be fine and bit more stable.

The power consumption of the RPi 3 depends on what your are using.
Normally it would be around 5-6 Watts. On a RPi 1 or 2 you could reduce
this to one or three Watts.
