[strongSwan] mac os x client app unresponsive?

[Cindy Moore]

As per this page:
https://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/MacOSX#Native-application
I downloaded strongswan-5.2.1-1.app.zip from http://download.strongswan.org/osx/

I can unzip it fine, which results in a pretty icon on the desktop,
and clicking on that, seems to install a gray icon up along with the
network , battery, date, etc icons.  Clicking on that gives me three
options, New Connection, About, and Quit.  However, choosing New
Connection doesn't do anything?

I am on a Mac Book Pro, this one is on version 10.7.5 which should be
enough according to the Strongswan notes on the native application?
