New Africa Region [NG, EG, ZA] & Probe Addition [FL]

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.
