You stated earlier, that you instructed PostgreSQL to listen to all
interfaces. This includes IPv6. Your configuration misses to configure
trust for your IPv6 network.

Alternatively you can change your network configuration to run on IPv4
and not use IPv6. You would remove the IPv6 interface from PostgreSQL
and change resolver to return IPv4 (A record, not AAAA) for your host.
