Maybe just:
If you choose this option, a daily cron job will run network tests as the
"Debian-ooni" user.

If it identifies them as censored by attempting to connect to them with
and without Tor, I think this would be clearer:
The software will
attempt to connect to web services that may be banned, using web censorship
circumvention methods such as Tor.
(What services? And what circumvention methods *other* than Tor? It
would be nice if the documentation ever gave any sort of concrete
example of the kind of thing Ooniprobe tries to do, but for an
open-source anti-censorship project that doesn't care if it gets me
on a watch list, it's remarkably cagey about this.)
