It would be great if we could add some code to check whether or not
the user is using a proxy. If this is not possible, we will have to
think about some text for this screen that does not confuse anyone or
lead to mistakes.

I guess "the" might be a better fit.

I don't think we should confuse users too much by listing all the
different options they have for connecting (no bridge, bridge, obfs2,
obfs3).

We could link to it, just like we're linking to bridges.tpo and
bridges@tpo. Other options might be to include it in the bundle or
re-use the text as part of a help screen.
