• Give a heading very early the readme that says "Read this warning before you run ooni-probe!" Possibly in all-caps.
• Refer to something else -- a URL, a file, a section in the README, or something else -- that answers the question, "Is it safe to run ooni-probe"?
• When the answer to "is it safe to run ooni-probe" is conditional on circumstances or unknowns, say so. "We think that the issues are XYZ, but we might not have thought of everything." is a fine thing to say.
• Come up with a tiny synopsis of the disclaimer and display it to the user the first time they run ooni-probe. (Or each time). Have the short version link to the longer thing (a URL, a file, a section in the readme, or something else).

Then we should iterate to make it more and more friendly and useful.

(Some parts of may already be done.)
