It sounds like you already found this solution: Hiding the People Directory. 
This workaround will prevent the People directory from appearing on the dashboard, but if you navigate to the profile of a user, and then click on the "People" in the breadcrumb link you can still access <CONFLUENCE_URL>/browsepeople.action,  The best way to prevent access to that feature is to block access to <CONFLUENCE_INSTALL>/browsepeople.action at the proxy level.
