Announcing the Availability of a New Point of Presence (PoP) for Türkiye
Scheduled for Nov 3, 14:00 - 18:00 UTC
Scheduled
Forcepoint will be introducing a new Virtual Point of Presence (ISTA vPoP) which will be configured in our Frankfurt (Cluster B) data center, offering improved latency for customers connecting to the vPoP from Türkiye.
The new ISTA vPoP will be live on November 3, 2026. Customers connecting to ESBA vPoP will experience their traffic being automatically re-routed to the new vPoP.
Existing GRE or IPSec Advanced tunnels connected to the ESBA vPoP will not be affected and there is no requirement to switch to the new vPoP. Customers may prefer to switch to ISTA when it becomes available.
Action required by 2 November 2026 for Forcepoint Web Security Cloud or Hybrid customers with users in Türkiye:
All Customers: Add the New IP Address Range to Your Allowlist
Add 157.167.7.0/24 to your allowlists before 2 November 2026.
The same range is used to connect to the service and for outbound traffic from it, so a single entry covers both. Once the new vPoP is live, your users in Türkiye will connect to this range and their web traffic will egress from it. Retain all existing Forcepoint ranges. This range is an addition, not a replacement.
Hybrid Web Customers
On-network users continue to egress via your on-premises Web Security Gateway; no change. Off-network and roaming users in Türkiye will use the Frankfurt data center, so the allowlisting action above applies to them.
