Putting in 127.0.0.1 into any machine redirects to that machine. It isn't a routable IP so there is no way you can connect to a machine over the WAN using it.

How do you mean? 127.0.0.1 is your local computer. Technically, no one can be listening to it unless you aren't using a router, and then they are listening to your public IP. Unless you have something running on your PC that is phoning home. If you are wondering about connections, try netstat. T
