 How  to enable connection from LAN ?
 
 Andrus 

The solution is to edit the postgresql.conf file
And then enable LAN connections.

But before doing so, I urge you :

Your line in pg_hba.conf as is is EXTREMELY INSECURE
I suggest to be more tight than all and trust

Use a comma separated list of users (exclude postgres)
Use a comma separated list of databases (excluding templates and pg_)

Use password instead of trust, at least.

So create some users with limited grants, with a password, even if these are
script users.

No network can be trusted.

User postgres is (and should stay) the only one user capable of DROP
DATABASE x

I strongly recomment not to use user postgres for runtime remote
connections.

I think you should probably make that 168.179.0.0/24 - the /32 means that
only the IP address 168.179.0.1 is covered by that line, so the pattern
does not match.
