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 Python module is used for handling hardware identifiers like MAC addresses and makes it easy to: * check if a string represents a valid MAC address, or a similar hardware identifier like an EUI-64, OUI, etc, * convert between string and binary forms of MAC addresses and other hardware identifiers, and so on. Heavily inspired by the ipaddress module, but not yet quite as featureful.

net/py-macaddress: New port

This Python module is used for handling hardware identifiers like MAC
addresses and makes it easy to:

* check if a string represents a valid MAC address, or a similar hardware
  identifier like an EUI-64, OUI, etc,
* convert between string and binary forms of MAC addresses and other
  hardware identifiers,

and so on.

Heavily inspired by the ipaddress module, but not yet quite as
featureful.
