Comment (by bastik):

 I'm not sure, but the restriction to port 80|443 and the usage of
 obfsproxy don't contradict by design, do they?

 It would work if the Tor Launcher can check:
 a) Am I supposed to connect to ports X|Y, only?
 b) Am I supposed to connect over pluggable transports with transport Z?
 c) Has any (obfuscated) bridge line port X or Y in it?

 Then do:
 case 1) c) is true, don't complain, connect.
 case 2) c) is false, complain with a proper message that gives hints on
 what to do in order to make it work.
