Establishing untrusted non-3GPP sessions without compromising security

Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for establishing sessions over a network. A query can be sent, from a mobile device to an authoritative DNS server, requesting a session over a network. In response to the query, a list of available communication protocol options can be received from the authoritative DNS server. A specific communication protocol can be selected from the list of available communication protocol options, where the specific communication protocol is selected based on one or more performance metrics. A connection with a gateway device can then be initiated using the selected specific communication protocol.
