The recently imposed "must be logged in" restriction is a response to increased bot traffic on the site. This affects search, commits, and vuxml pages.
Search engines are not blocked. Try using "site:www.freshports.org" and your search terms.
After the ports freeze to fix some stuff, the freeze is over. I have some work to do before FreshPorts can start processing commits again before it can start processing again. I've created an issue for that.

Description:
boxrun creates isolated execution environments, i.e. a sandbox, using FreeBSD's native security primitives: jails for filesystem and network isolation, nullfs mounts for selective directory exposure, RCTL for resource accounting and control, and procctl for process security features. It provides fine-grained control over filesystem visibility, network access, resource limits, and security hardening. All security features are enabled by default (ASLR, W^X, no-new-privs, ptrace denied, securelevel 3). Optional NAT networking with PF integration allows isolated sandboxes to have outbound connectivity and port forwarding.
