2026/02/04 by Leave a comment

We’re excited to announce we’re adding a new check region and probe servers in Africa to the NodePing server monitoring service.

The new region will be brought online and available for selection starting February 11, 2026. With this new addition, NodePing now has five distinct check regions, North America (NAM), Europe (EUR), East Asia/Oceania (EAO), Latin America (LAM), and Africa (AFR).

The new probe servers are located in:

  • Lagos, Nigeria (NG)
    (185.255.123.184)
  • Cairo, Egypt (EG)
    (104.166.138.234)
  • Johannesburg, South Africa (ZA)
    (65.255.42.194)

You can specify our new Africa region as the default region on your account or select it as a region on individual checks to get results from these new probe servers. Be advised that IPv6 is not available on these hosts yet and they won’t be included in the World Wide region, WLW.

Additionally, we will be adding the following probe server in the NAM & LAM region on 2026-2-11:

Miami, Florida (FL) – USA
(192.73.243.238 / 2607:f740:17::4b0)

Please adjust your firewalls appropriately if you whitelist so your checks do not fail because of the probe IP additions.
An always current and updated list of all the IP addresses for our probe servers can be found in the FAQ, a text file, and via DNS query: probes.nodeping.com.

[UPDATE – 2026-01-14 16:30 GMT-7] – Probe additions complete. Africa region is now available, be advised that IPv6 is not available on these hosts yet and they won’t be included in the World Wide region, WLW.

New Latin America Region

2014/03/21 by Leave a comment

We’re excited to announce we’re adding a new check region and probe servers in Latin America to the NodePing server monitoring service.
The new region will be brought online and available for selection starting April 2, 2014. With this new addition, NodePing now has four distinct check regions, North America (NAM), Europe (EUR), East Asia/Oceania (EAO), and Latin America (LAM).

The new probe servers are located in:NodePing probe map

  • Panama [PA]
  • Curico, Chile [CL]
  • Federal, Argentina [AR]
  • São Paulo, Brazil [BR]
  • Miami, Florida, USA [FL]

Some may be asking “Why is Miami included in the Latin America Region?”. Geography was never our strong subject, but we do understand Miami is in North America. Significant traffic within different parts of Latin America goes through Miami, especially between Central America and South America, so we wanted to ensure that was covered for our Latin American customers.

You can specify our new Latin America region as the default region on your account or select it as a location on individual checks to get results from these new probe servers.

IP addresses for the probe servers can be found in the FAQ. Any questions can be directed to support(at)nodeping.com

[UPDATE – 2014-04-02 08:20GMT-7] – All new Latin America probes are online.
