VPN usage in the United States has surged during the coronavirus crisis, increasing 124 percent during the two weeks between March 8 and March 22, 2020. The United States reported an increase of over 33,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases during these two weeks. Increased VPN usage can have many reasons, the most popular ones being access to other digital media content and social networks, and most importantly, access to different news sources. As some countries restrict access to many news and media outlets, users frequently use VPN to stay up to date with crucial developments.
