Actually，I work for one of the most well known Chinese Internet companies. Our company’s VPN is blocked by HN

The VPN blocks HN, not the other way round

Did you mean that HN isn't accessible through VPN? i.e. it only tunnels domains selectively?

HN doesn't block VPNs. What are you observing that leads you to say that?

Don't you ban IP addresses in some cases? https://hn.algolia.com/?query=by:dang%20IP%20banned&sort=byD... suggests you do. That could result in effectively banning a VPN.

We do, but not usually heavily used ones, and the VPNs we're aware of use lots of IPs.
