How to see private instagram profiles without following?

Curiosity about a private Instagram profile, but following feels too forward. How can I see a private Instagram profile without hitting follow? Safe viewers or tricks that bypass the walls?

I’ve poked around out of curiosity too, but most “tricks” online tend to be shady or break Instagram’s rules. I once tried https://goonview.com/ just to see how it works, and it kept things anonymous without asking for my info, but I still stick to using it only for public stuff. Private profiles are private for a reason, so I play it safe and keep things above board.
