Another option,

If the perp had an IP of 211.23.10.4 for example, add this on the computer
running the P2P session:

Open command prompt

Change the last octet in the IP to 0 (e.g. 211.23.10.4 becomes
211.23.10.0, this will "block" a /24 as well using routing)

route ADD 211.23.10.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.254 METRIC 1

Your system will send all packets for network 211.23.10.0, to
192.168.1.254 (Where 192.168.1.254 would be an unused IP on your network)

He can initially connect, but your system will route all his returning
traffic to 192.168.1.254, so he never gets a response.

route ADD 211.23.10.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.254 METRIC 1 -p

To make the route persistent across reboots

route DELETE 211.23.10.0

When the route is no longer needed
