There's a built-in block list there, from there you can find lists of proxies, dedicated & VPS hosting out there to add to that list. It's fairly easy, and it's how I stopped an attack to one of my boards. It was much more effective than using Cloudflare.

Cloudflare also proxies all users under their IPs, making it more difficult to catch previously banned users. So I didn't find Cloudflare to be an ideal solution for forum Administrators.

You can restore the original IP address in vBulletin and the access logs though, there's guides available online that explain you how to do that.
