XenForo default.vcl settings

If you want Varnish to ignore request for a path you need to tell it to
pass. In your example you have a rule for the RSS feed. You can do the same
for /forum/ in your vcl_recv block.

*# DO NOT CACHE RSS FEED*
* if (req.url ~ "/feed(/)?") {*
*    return ( pass ); *
*}*

*# DO NOT CACHE FORUM*
 if (req.url ~ "/forum(/)?") {
    return ( pass );
 }

Cheers,
Richard
