Explanations for VPN trend peaks in Egypt:
1. Peak from 2020-03-22 to 2020-03-28: VPN searches in Egypt saw an unusual increase from March 22 to March 28, 2020, likely due to the government's decision to block several internet services. During that period, there were reports of restrictions on platforms like VoIP services, which are used for making voice and video calls over the internet. The increased search interest in VPNs was probably driven by individuals looking to bypass these restrictions and maintain access to blocked services during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic when online communication was crucial.
2. Peak from 2020-03-29 to 2020-04-04: VPN searches in Egypt surged from March 29 to April 4, 2020, primarily because the Egyptian government restricted access to certain websites and services during that time. People sought VPNs to bypass these restrictions and maintain access to the internet content they wanted. Additionally, with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, more people were working and learning from home, leading to an increased interest in securing their online activities with VPNs.
