GlassWire service and the NetBios

So far I can only confirm those generated by WIndows NetBIOS. I’d have to either monitor the processes or monitor network traffic (before and after GlassWire is installed) and I don’t have time for that.

Anyway, the best solution for me and 99.9% of users is to disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP which we should be doing anyway because of the security vulnerabilities it creates (see the link below). @Ken_GlassWire, It might even be a worthwhile security measure for to GlassWire help users to turn it off if it is on.

The only reason to keep using NetBIOS is if you run an old application that requires it. Typically, we’re talking about applications from about twenty years ago.

I’m still interested to know why there is NetBIOS external traffic because it was limited to the subnet at one time. I remember when Microsoft limited NetBIOS by default and there was a big outcry from those with systems that didn’t use FQDN for SMB/CIFS. Maybe Microsoft reversed that change.
