I have an ASUS TUF A16 that i bought from Amazon UK about a year and a half ago. I’ve been using Linux on it since i got it and it works great.

It has the RX7600s, same as the dGPU addon for framework laptops.

The model number is FA617NS.

Use a reverse proxy in a DMZ. You can use something like Bunkerweb + Crowdsec to give you a WAF and dynamic IP blocklist in front of your web service.
