A loopback, or loopback interface, is a virtual network interface within a computer system that can be used to send network communications between programs running on the same machine. Here are some key points about loopback interfaces that are crucial to understand if you are attempting to deploy software of this nature:
The loopback interface is often assigned the IP address 127.0.0.1, which is used to establish communication within the same device without relying on external networking hardware.
It allows a computer to send and receive data to itself, essentially looping the data back within the system without needing to go through a physical network.
The loopback interface is commonly used for testing network-related functionality on a local machine, such as testing network protocols, services, or network applications.
TL;DR: localhost links are served on the loopback interface which is only accessible on the machine serving them.
