For our wi-fi network I use Untangle (www.untangle.com/). I use the 
Application Control Lite app to block P2P. The free version has 
additional apps. The advanced networking can also do QoS/traffic shaping 
but I don't use it.

On our public PCs, users can do anything they want as long as it doesn't 
require an admin password.
