Depends on how important your security is.
the pg_hba.conf entry is in the following format for the network.
host DBNAME IP_ADDRESS ADDRESS_MASK AUTHTYPE [AUTH_ARGUMENT]
For local connection from the server itself (safe to keep as is)
local all trust
host all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 trust
From the network
host all 192.168.1.4 255.255.255.255 trust
or more secure
host all 192.168.1.4 255.255.255.255 password
or your whole network
host all 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 trust
