If you are still unable to open the Private browser window using the provided link, you may have Screen Time restrictions placed on your device that prevents it. Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Content Restrictions > Web Content, and change it to Unrestricted. If you are part of a Family Plan, it would be the Organizer that would need to make the change.
