Apple currently believes the outage was caused by a change Apple made to their network configuration which had unexpected consequences. 3 of the IP addresses used by MacPorts became inaccessible outside Apple. Other macOS forge IP addresses used by MacPorts and other projects were not affected. The services on the servers using those IP addresses have been moved to a new server outside of Apple.
