Some company networks use filters to block websites but It sounds like the forum banned his IP address not the other way around.

That would mean the companies IP address is blocked and not the address of his home network.
I'd set up a split tunnel configuration and don't worry about asking somebody to unblock a specific or range of IP address(es).

Workarounds are to disable the VPN client on you local device or to configure a split tunnel which will separate IP traffic designated to the VPN gateway and local resources including internet access.
