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.

Announcement:

Patch patch-lib_softoken_pkcs11c.c was dropped - it is unclear if it
was still relevant. The last discussion of the problem this patch was
supposed to fix happened >15 years ago, and nothing came out of that.
