How to listen on all adapters (MacOS)

On Windows, setting the host to 0.0.0.0 listens on all adapters, and allows me to easily access my SABnzbd instance easily from anywhere on my network.

However, MacOS won't accept this setting. Setting the host to 127.0.0.1 works fine for the local computer, but I can't access from another computer on my network.

Setting it to my actual IP does allow access across my network, but I have to go in and manually edit the ini file if I move my computer to another network.

Is there a solution on MacOS that is equivalent to setting the host to 0.0.0.0 on Windows, making it listen on all adapters, and making it easily accessible from all machines on my network, regardless of the Mac's IP?

Any help appreciated!

0.0.0.0

or ::

If that doesn't work: Firewall on your MAC?

Neither of those worked, and it's not a firewall issue.

I have managed to resolve the issue by setting the host in sabnzbd.ini to *.*.*.*

Thanks for the assist!

EDIT: I just did a cat of the ini file, and it's changed the host to 127.0.0.1, which I swear I've already tried and it didn't work, but it's working now, so....yay.
