I want to allow localhost traffic in iptables so I added the rule
iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
When I run iptables -L it shows me that this rule got translated into
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere
That confuses me. Doensn't that mean that iptables allows all INPUT traffic? Please help

Try running
iptables -L -v
instead -- this will include interface names in the output.
