We disconnected our internet. I think ds 14 years old hacked the Internet with his iPod. I saw WIFI_BACK on the Internet choices which was never there before. Wwyd

It's not clear from your statement but:
if you see wifi_back now on your computer and you've never seen it before, it probably belongs to a neighbor who just got wifi.
if you see it on the ipod, then the ipod was somewhere else that had a wifi connection and it connected there. It can only connect with that wifi connection in the same location.
If you want your son to have an ipod without internet:
1: go to settings
2: scroll down to general
3: scroll down to restrictions
4: click enable restrictions
5: set a 4 digit passcode
6: choose to not allow safari or any other web browsers
7: choose to not allow installing apps without password
8: choose zero access to websites
And that should about do it.

Op here
He has Internet but I let him use it when I put the hot spot on. I searched WIFI_BACK on the Internet and it is a hacking tool.

He cannot hack something that isn't there. If you have NO internet, he cannot get internet no matter what. What he CAN do is hack the neighbors' WiFi, or he can tether to your 3g or 4g devices. Honestly, you may need to have a real conversation here, where expectations and rules are laid out. You can keep trying this or that method to block it, and he will do this and that method to get around it. THere's always a way around it. There's no substitute for an actual conversation where everyone lays out where they're holding.

He doesn't agree. He wants to watch movies.

And? You still need to talk. You want one t&ing, he wants the opposite. He clearly has the means to disregard you entirely. You be need to figure out where to go from here, and this may include allowing some things you're not entirely happy about.

You can either allow g/pg movies in your house with you or [filth] and worse outside when he is on his own
The choice is yours

just chiming in to say the same as the other posters. My husband works in the computers. He said that any filter etc... is only good if the person using it wants it, otherwise there is always a way for a kid to get what he wants.
