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:
This FreeBSD kernel module implements a simple point-to-point IP link between a vnet jail and its host, or between two vnet jails - like if_epair(4), but without the complexity and overhead of emulating Ethernet. Status: Under active development. It has not yet seen wide testing. Try it on a test machine first.
