Can I password protect the internet?

My 11 year old son just got an ipod touch and I know I can block it from home but I want to turn it off completely. Is there a way to turning off the wifi capability will any router? Does anyone know if there is a third-party solution out there?

Ipod Touch, Windows XP

Thanks for the award.

I do not want to try to password protect the ENTIRE Internet (did you read this whole thread?) I just want to lock (or password protect) the Internet ACCESS from my childs iTouch.

I think that Meg saw some humor in your topic title: "Can I password protect the internet?". 🙂

Yup, just thought the title, without context was funny. I really wasn't trying to make fun of you. It was a rough day and your title made me smile.

I really did understand. Hopefully, when new applications come out, someone will write something that will enable you to do what you want/need to do. You're certainly not the first person to ask about it.

You might also want to add your voice by making a suggestion directly to Apple:

Best of luck.

you could just ask to see his safari history everyday and if it has been erased take his touch away for a week or a set time
