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:
OpenVPN is a robust, scalable and highly configurable VPN (Virtual Private Network) daemon which can be used to securely link two or more private networks using an encrypted tunnel over the internet. It can operate over UDP or TCP, can use SSL or a pre-shared secret to authenticate peers, and in SSL mode, one server can handle many clients. This development port is updated frequently and is much less well tested than the formal releases, and functionality and APIs may change without warning. DO NOT USE IN PRODUCTION WITHOUT PRIOR TESTING FOR YOUR USE CASE.

security/openvpn-devel: Update to commit 22a24132da

This brings in the upstream development work of the last two months,
including two CVE fixes relevant for all platforms.

One of the bundled patch files was adjusted to take into account
upstream formatting changes on tests/t_cltsrv.sh.

security/openvpn-devel: Update to latest commit

This brings in the upstream development work of the last three months,
including a number of CVE fixes.

The previous commit erroneously bumped the date string used as the
version number to "2027".  Fix that, and upgrade EPOCH to make it work.

Some maintenance on the port Makefile itself to address "portlint"
complaints and upstream changes (--enable-strict configure argument has
been dropped because the flags are always on now).

- Remove unnecessary GNU_CONFIGURE_MANPREFIX.
- Improve post-install-EXAMPLES-on.
