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.

www/nginx-module-cache-purge: Fix proxy_cache_purge on freenginx

The module mirrors ngx_http_proxy_loc_conf_t privately and enables the
host_set field for nginx_version >= 1029004.  freenginx does not have
that field, so plcf->cache_key is read at the wrong offset and a PURGE
request kills the worker process.
