Instead of Cloudflare there should be a protocol that would allow host to notify upstream providers that they should reject incoming traffic from specific address ranges. If there was such protocol all Cloudflare business would be zeroed in a minute, but sadly that is not going to happen.

At the server or datacenter level, it's call a firewall :)
Considering that a lot of the internet is still behind a NAT I’m not sure that’s a completely bulletproof solution.
