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 is the FreeBSD port of the OpenBSD "doas" command. The doas program allows a regular user to run commands as another user (usually root). The doas command is a simplified (hopefully more secure) version of the "sudo" command and offers an easier to read/modify configuration.
