On August 27, 2015, Cloudflare announced its 43rd point of presence (PoP) and second in Africa, located in Mombasa, Kenya. This marks the company's first PoP situated within a real-life castle-turned-data center. The new location serves networks across East Africa, reaching millions of Internet users in the region.
