There are cases when you want to loop routes such as for Power Supplies, and when you do not want to loop routes such as for Signal Lines.
While routing, you can toggle by changing the "Loop Settings" for Routes.

When looping is done through three or more pads (not including Vias),
a confirmation screen will appear.

Looping is always allowed. |
