| a. Turn on **NetBIOS over TCPIP** for remote [device profiles](/cloudflare-one/team-and-resources/devices/warp/configure-warp/device-profiles/). | ||

| b. Turn off **NetBIOS over TCPIP** for [on-prem device profiles](/cloudflare-one/team-and-resources/devices/warp/configure-warp/managed-networks/#4-configure-device-profile). |

What is the rationale for turning off NetBT for on-prem profiles?

Ah, I didn't meant to suggest that it should be turned off for on-prem. I meant to describe it can be toggled with on-prem device profiles too.

Let me rephrase this a little bit.

| NetBIOS over TCPIP (NetBT) is a legacy feature in Windows primarily used for name resolution in some rare scenarios (e.g., SMBv1). It has been deprecated for decades, but Windows has not removed or disabled it by default. Cloudflare WARP disables NetBT on the tunnel interface by default for security reasons and to align with modern best practices, as the vast majority of customers are not using anything requiring NetBIOS over the WARP tunnel. |

This gets tricky, as they did disable NetBIOS Name Resolution (NBNR) by default -ish, and will probably make progress on this before we want to go check and update this page. I think this is a safer statement that still makes the point.
