I would use an exterior paint for now
Can you post a photo? I am thinking it is not particle board, but if it is, I would seriously consider taking it up, check the insulation below, if any, installing insulation to code, then flooring of your choice appropriate for the area.
If you just need a quick fix, a prime coat or two and then a paint formulated for floors.

You could paint it or add vinyl or porcelain plank flooring. Paint will eventually need to be redone but plank will last.
I agree with Naomie on paint. It's probably a subfloor. I would prime it with a good stain blocking primer the paint with a good floor paint.
I would use porch and floor paint,,,, over appropriate primer.
indoor/ outdoor floor paint. You could also buy a good size piece of indoor / outdoor carpet to put down in the main traffic area on porch leading up to the front door. Its fairly cheap at lowes or other home improvement.
No matter what you do seal the particle board after using paint or stain. The particle board will start to come apart and not last. If you put carpet, seal first with several layers of poly.
