Wildcard subnet mask for IPv6

Question

To allow any host to connect to PostgreSQL we can use the IPv4 wildcard subnet mask: 0.0.0.0/0

I need this to setup my PostgreSQL's pg_hba.conf file correctly.

What is the IPv6 equivalent?

Isn't it just ::/0? But surely this is off-topic here and better asked elsewhere? — Colin 't Hart, Commented Jul 10, 2014 at 20:07
@NeilMcGuigan: I'm guessing that Colin probably thinks this is possibly off-topic because the IPv6 equivalent for 0.0.0.0/0 is going to be the same whether you're administering a database or writing a chat program, or something else. — FrustratedWithFormsDesigner, Commented Jul 10, 2014 at 20:55

Neil - I edited this to use the more technical term since it will be easier for the average user to find.
