these two are easy to understand.

name tutorial           # name of network
subnet 10.0.42.0/24     # private subnetwork

what is the random string ? and how to generate ??
and I guess bootstrap.wirehub.io is the hostname of my "bootstrap node" ??
Do I have to open any ports in firewall ?

# one DHT bootstrap node

what is the random string ?

P17zMwXJFbBdJEn05RFIMADw9TX5_m2xgf31OgNKX3w is the public key of the bootstrap node.

and how to generate ??

You can generate a pair of private and public key with wh genkey and wh pubkey.

wh genkey | tee node_a.sk | wh pubkey | tee node_a.k

and I guess bootstrap.wirehub.io is the hostname of my "bootstrap node" ??

Indeed. This is a domain name or IP to contact the bootstap node.

Do I have to open any ports in firewall ?

No.

Note that my bootstrap node is offline. This project is unmaintained.
