using the googlebot useragent might work!
No, that's not enough. Protection is available.

If the owner didn’t block all access methods, you can try opening the site through https://search.google.com/test/rich-results — get the page’s source code, save it to a file, and open it.
Sometimes using Google Translate to open the page also works.
Thank you for your answer, but this method is also blocked.

Yeah, technically you can check out what a cloaking site shows to Googlebot, but it’s kind of a gray area - and honestly, not the most ethical move. Cloaking basically means showing different stuff to search engines than what real people see, and that’s a big no-no in Google’s book.
