Freedome VPN fails to start on Mac OS X Yosemite (v10.10.5)

I have a 7-pack of Freedome VPN licenses and I've been able to get it running successfully on two iPhones, an iPad, a Windows PC and a Windows laptop thus far.  However, when trying to start it on a MacBook Air, it continually gets the following error:

 

F-Secure Freedome error

Could not configure the app.  Restart Freedome and try again.

 

I've already attempted to delete and reinstall the application multiple times (including following the recommended uninstall behavior from the Freedome chat support team) with no success.  The application always installs successfully and then displays the error about 30 seconds after installation.

 

I ended up trying to run the application via a terminal from inside the application package and I see this output with errors attempting to connect to a background process (I replaced my machine name and username in the output):

    Hello ReticentCouch,

     

    I believe this needs further investigation with the logs. I see you have already got in touch with our support team via chat. Please followup with support team via the case so that they can troubleshoot further on this.
