Abstract

Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, rendezvous gateway (RG) apparatuses, and network security systems that send an RG synchronization message (SYN) to an application in a secure domain following receipt, from a client, of a client SYN comprising an indication of the application. A rendezvous agent (RA) SYN is received, via a firewall coupled to the security domain and in response to the RG SYN, from an RA in the secure domain. A first RG synchronization-acknowledgement message (SYN+ACK) is sent to the client in response to the client SYN. A second RG SYN+ACK is sent, via the firewall, to the RA in response to the RA SYN. The RA is notified of receipt of a client acknowledgement message (ACK) from the client. An RA ACK is received, from the RA and via the firewall, in response to the notification, to thereby establish a full connection between the client and the application.
