New Checkpoints and IP updates for November 2019

November Checkpoint updates and additions are here! This month, you have three new checkpoints, and we are proud to say that the three additions make for 215 worldwide checkpoint locations.  We’ve also updated the IP addresses of two checkpoints.

Adding new checkpoints helps support your efforts to test your websites, servers, and APIs close to your users’ locations. The closer you can get to your users, the more accurate your monitoring results. Accurate results lead to faster resolution of issues. Issues you may not know about right away without our large network of checkpoints.

We publish these blogs (and send out emails) so that you know when we add new checkpoints and IP addresses change. Our DevOps team is busy adding the checkpoints and updating the IP addresses, so you can expect the changes at any time over the next week.

Our newest checkpoints

Now you have three new checkpoints to add to the 212 checkpoints. The three new checkpoints give you 215 checkpoints from which you can choose.

Bahrain, Amazon Middle East

We’ve added a checkpoint to Bahrain (IP address: 157.175.35.24). Bahrain’s population of over 1.6 million people is enjoying the installation of its first fiber-optic network making high-speed available to businesses and homes throughout the country. The country currently has mobile speeds at 33.7 Mbps and broadband at 26.4 Mbps.

Greece

We’ve located our second Greece checkpoint in the city of Thessaloniki (IP address 78.108.36.46). Greece has 11.1 million people using Internet speeds at 25.8 Mbps and mobile speeds at 41.4 Mbps.

Italy

With the addition of the city of Rende (IP address 185.221.175.228), we now have five checkpoints in Italy. Italy has 59.2 people on average with 59.8 Mbps broadband speeds and mobile speeds at 35.5 Mbps.

Changing IP addresses

Sometimes we have to change IP addresses on existing checkpoints, so this month, we are changing:

  • Estonia
    The Tallinn checkpoint changes from 212.47.194.130 to 77.247.111.36
  • Norway
    Bergen changes from 62.122.255.148 to 62.122.255.177
