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 program creates four pointer barriers around each XRandR screen, thus effectively jailing your mouse pointer to one physical screen. Pointer barriers are mostly useful when there is more than one physical screen connected to your computer. Properly placed barriers can then make you feel like you're sitting in front of only one screen: When you throw your mouse in the upper right corner, it does not suddenly switch to another monitor.

x11/xpointerbarrier: New port: Pointer barriers to jail the mouse within a
screen

This program creates four pointer barriers around each XRandR screen,
thus effectively jailing your mouse pointer to one physical screen.

Pointer barriers are mostly useful when there is more than one physical
screen connected to your computer. Properly placed barriers can then
make you feel like you're sitting in front of only one screen: When you
throw your mouse in the upper right corner, it does not suddenly switch
to another monitor.
