This is **not** a real IP Address. I.E. you cannot go to http://0.0.0.0 and expect something to show up.
`1624` is a [port](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_(computer_networking)). This is the default IW4MAdmin port, but can be changed.
In computing, a network socket is an "endpoint" (typically represented by an `IP Address` and `Port` combination).
`http://0.0.0.0:1624` represents all [bindable sockets](https://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~campbell/cs50/socketprogramming.html) on a given machine.
`http://0.0.0.0:1624` represents all [bindable sockets](https://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~campbell/cs50/socketprogramming.html) (using the specified port) on a given machine.
A single machine may have multiple NIC (network interface cards) that have multiple assigned IP Addresses.
As such `http://0.0.0.0:1624` will attempt to bind to each NIC and each IP Address on port `1624` by default.
**Unless you are experienced with networking or running IW4MAdmin behind a reverse proxy, it is recommended to leave this value as is.**
