Methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, are described for establishing secure communications sessions between computing devices located behind network security devices. The method includes receiving, from a first client computing device, a request for a secure connection with a second client computing device, the request including a first transport protocol role and a first security protocol role associated with the first device. The method includes transmitting the request to the second device. The method includes receiving, from the second device, a response to the request including a second transport protocol role and a second security protocol role associated with the second device, transmitting the response to the first device, and establishing the secure connection between the first device and the second device, where the first and second security protocol roles are determined independently from the first and second transport protocol roles.
