Why doesn't my rule with 127.0.0.1 as the target host work?
NetDetour will never tunnel connections destined for a loopback address through the proxy. Rules are not evaluated for such connections. As a result, it does not make sense to specify addresses reserved for loopback (including all IPv4 addresses in the 127.0.0.0/8 range, the IPv6 address ::1, and the name "localhost") as criteria for target hosts in rules.
