Windows Firewall with Advanced Security, Connection security rules, and netsh
The screenshot pretty much says it all: I don't understand. If I create rules in the MMC snap-in, they don't appear in netsh, if I create rules in netsh, they don't appear in the MMC snap-in. What am I missing here?

Hi,Based on my testing, I would like to explain that the issue can occur if the security rule is set incorrectly. Please create a new default rule and run the above command again.For more information to create Connection Security Rules, please refer to the link below:Create the Connection Security Rules for the Remote Client and IPsec GatewayThanks,Novak

I don't think that's my issue considering the rule is actually working...

Finally, I found out. My mistake is that I was using the Local Security Policy console to modify the firewall settings. A more direct approach is to use the "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security" console (in the administration tools). There I can manage rules and they appear in netsh (and vice-versa).
