Answer
Here, * means the server supports all TCP connections for IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces.
Whereas 0.0.0.0 supports only the IPv4 interfaces.
Similar to * we can use :: to support both IPv4 and IPv6 interface.
It wont restrict any access to your Server if you use IPv4 interface.

I was hired as a new IT assistant in Dubai, but I thought that I would only be supporting office computers. And today the boss said I also need to take care of servers and backups. I am desperate.
