Any way to easily see all VAC / game banned friends?
Besides checking them all one by one? I tried steamrep but it's wrong for some reason.

Something went wrong while displaying this content. Refresh

There is no way, other than checking one by one. Besides that, any VAC ban that is 7 years old or older, is invisible to anyone but the account owner. Although there are various websites that will show if an account has a VAC ban on it regardless of how old the ban is.

A gang ban never goes invisible, regardless of its age. It can always be seen on the profile.

Additionally, game bans only show up on profiles if they are at least 1 year in duration.

Uhhhh no.

The duration of the game ban is determined by the developer. Only permanent game bans are displayed on the user’s profile. Temporary game bans, or suspensions, are not displayed.

That's not how the API defines a suspension.

The link I posted is a Steam Support article.

It's common knowledge that any type of ban that is visible on the profile in red, is permanent. This goes for VAC bans, game bans and trade bans.

You also see a message in game about VAC when the account has a game ban. That doesn't mean that game bans have anything to do with VAC. They don't.

The link I posted is the official Steamworks documentation for the API function that issues game bans.

If you read the link that I posted it is information about nothing but game bans . Temporary bans do not appear on the profile. And here's the kicker: Valve applies the bans on behalf of the developer.

A lot of those 3rd party sites are having issues looking up friends. Possibly something on Valve's end or not but even https://steamid.uk/ won't fully load.

It took a long 5 minutes to load it all due to new rate limits on non-patrons of the site but you can see it here if you scroll down...
