English Actions
Clients offering some particular content over the distributed cache are said to be **seeding** it or to be their *seeders* (these terms come from the P2P file-sharing world). Going back to our example scenario, there are two clients seeding some content. Unfortunately, one is seeding content *Y* and the other one content *Z*, so your client would find no entries for content *X* in the distributed cache index, as depicted below:

Fortunately, Ouinet offers a way to retrieve such content and furthermore make it available to other clients in the distributed cache. Please read on to learn how.

Proxies on steroids
In Ouinet, there are special kinds of proxy servers called **injectors** which sit in the (hopefully) free side of the Internet and try very hard to stay reachable despite blocking measures:
First of all, connections between clients and injectors are encrypted (using standard SSL/TLS like in HTTPS) to avoid attackers from identifying injectors by eavesdropping on web traffic.
By the way, injector certificates are shipped in Ceno Browser, allowing it to detect attackers trying to impersonate injectors.
If encryption was not sufficient, connections to injectors can use special obfuscation techniques (like I2P and Tor's Pluggable Transports) to make identification even more difficult.
Even if an injector was identified and access to it was blocked by your ISP, there are several of them and it does not matter which one your client contacts over the Internet.
Some or all injectors may be blocked, but then the set of injectors can vary over time (with new ones being added).
