AES-NI is an extension to the x86 architecture for CPUs from Intel and AMD. The Pi 3 is build with a ARM Cortex-A53 CPU (ARMv8-A). This has NEON SIMD extension (Advanced SIMD 128 bit registers) with instruction level support for AES (which implement AES rounds) and SHA-1/SHA-256. So, I think it sh

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. Norma
