How to block p2p connections.

[Vichy97]

At my university if you use p2p connections they will block you wifi login account. I use spotify and it uses p2p and regular connections so is there any software i can download to block just the p2p connections on my computer? Thanks!

A few different guides
1) Windows firewall: http://vigrond.com/blog/2013/12/20/block-spotifys-p2p-network-with-windows-firewall

I tried those. But when i try to click apply or ok, it wont let me. It like wont let me edit the firewall so is there any software that just blocks all p2p connections?

Try ZoneAlarm Free. It's really powerful and should do the job just fine:
