I don't think a user-agent of Phorm is entirely of any relevance, as the Phorm/WebWise kit isn't actually making any connection with a website. It just intercepts the connection made between the end user and website (once all the 307 dance is completed and a communication is allowed to and back from the real website), so the only user-agent to be seen will be that of the user. Convenient for them, eh?

A theory of mine after my limited understanding of the reports I must add.
