This page encapsulates a set of questions and answers in no particular order that users of IW4MAdmin may find useful.

What is "http://0.0.0.0:1624" and should I modify it?

0.0.0.0 is a string symbol used to represent a set of IP Addresses.
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. 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 (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.
