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:
libpcap is a ubiquitous network traffic capture library used by a wide variety of BSD, Linux and UN*X applications. Whilst FreeBSD has a vendor branch import of libpcap in its source tree, the purpose of the port is to provide a means of offering additional, bleeding-edge features which might not make it into the tree.
