Xoom Now Blocks Vpns Why?

[jbhenson]

Has anyone had issues with logging onto xoom using their VPN?

I cant log on to xoom using my VPN and wondered if its just my VPN PIA or is it a block they are using?

Found the answer, they are blocking my VPN companies east coast server. All the other US VPN servers work. strange xooms rates this morning were 14.74 to Rias 14.47

For what it's worth, I understand it is "necessary" to use a VPN to send $ to yourself using RIA if you are in Argentina, but I have never had a problems initiating a XOOM transfer from Argentina.

The XOOM transfer I made earlier this week at 8:30 am was deposited into my Argentine bank the same day.

It looks like XOOM is now very competitive with RIA.

Your absolutely correct, only thing is in some places in Argentina now Ria has cash pickup places and Xoom doesnt. but I agree with
