It doesn't require IP addresses unless you want to limit access by IP
address. And since your users don't have predictable IP addresses, you
don't want to limit access by IP address.

So just specify wildcards for the IP address: *.*.*.* .

Of course, if you want to restrict access some other way, that's another
matter. Hba allows password authentication, for example.

See the sample file pg_hba.conf.sample for details.
