For starters, I really think there is no need to briefly explain why would you like to stay anonymous on the Internet nowadays. You don't have to search a lot to find out about various acts trying to be pushed and forced all over the globe and Internet. But, you can still keep your profile low and here is what you'll need for it.
The method described here is actually an example how to achieve reconnection and IP change with JDownloader, but this method can very easily be adjusted to work with any program which supports calling external batch scripts. The example of creating such batch script is provided at the end of this post.
Step 1: You'll need to open an account with HideMyAss! VPN provider. If you already have HideMyAss! VPN account, skip to Step 3, otherwise keep on reading. Yes, you'll specifically need to use HideMyAss! VPN provider, not because I say so, rather because it is the only one VPN provider (at least I'm aware of) which is able to provide both anonymity and reconnection feature at the same time. There are two main prerequisites why they can do this and other VPN providers don't. First one is a capable desktop client which supports reconnect feature and another more important one is HideMyAss! VPN ability to provide users with more than 27.500+ IP addresses in 43 countries. As you might know, the main point of JDownloader reconnection feature is to obtain new IP address to avoid free user waiting time, and this is why it is so important for VPN service to be able to provide large number of IP addresses. Also HideMyAss! VPN doesn't have any bandwidth limits, which is quite important. HideMyAss! VPN is fully supporting OpenVPN, L2TP, and PPTP protocols, so you should be out of worries about not being able to get it working for you. Definitely the first and most recommended protocol to use is OpenVPN, so try to stick with it whenever you can. If you want some quick and straightforward answers my suggestion for you is to visit HideMyAss! FAQ section.On the other had if you want more informations on mentioned protocols I suggest you to additionaly visit OpenVPN community or OpenVPN on Wikipedia. Also be sure to check out what Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) and Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) stand for, or eventually check out what Virtual Private Networking (VPN) stands for.
Step 2: When you have signed up for HideMyAss! VPN service, be sure to install HideMyAss! client software following the given instructions you received when you've signed up or from your client area. This will allow you to seamlessly use HideMyAss! VPN services.
Step 3: If you already don't have installed JDownloader, download and install it by clicking here. Once you have it up and running go to next step.
Step 4: To setup JDownloader to automatically get a new IP do the following (refer to picture below):
In JDownloader go to "Settings", "Modules", "Reconnection", "External".
Click on "Select", go into the HMA folder (Windows x32 - C:\Program Files\HMA! Pro VPN\bin\ or Windows x64 - C:\Program Files (x86)\HMA! Pro VPN\bin\) and select "HMA! Pro VPN.exe".
Type "-changeip" into the parameter form below.
By clicking on "Change IP" at the bottom in the Showcase you can test it.
To activate Reconnection click the refresh icon in the menu (icon no. 9).
HMA should then change your IP.
Other commands you can use as parameters are "-connect" and "-disconnect".
That should be it! Feel free to enjoy you anonymity and JDownloader reconnect feature no matter if your ISP allows you to perform reconnect or not. Have fun!
Creating batch reconnect script to work with any program can be done by following next steps:
Step 1: Create .bat file and name it let's say reconnect.bat in any folder you need it. You can create .bat file with any text editing application starting with Notepad (I recommend using Notepad++). After you have started editing reconnect.bat copy and paste the adequate code depending on your Windows OS version.
Step 2a: Copy and paste the code below if you have 32-bit version of Windows OS installed:
@echo off
"C:\Program Files\HMA! Pro VPN\bin\HMA! Pro VPN.exe" -changeip
Step 2b: Copy and paste the code below if you have 64-bit version of Windows OS installed:
@echo off
"C:\Program Files (x86)\HMA! Pro VPN\bin\HMA! Pro VPN.exe" -changeip
Step 3: Save and close the reconnect.bat file. Now when you call reconnect.bat if you did everything as described, you should be able to get a new IP address.
Note: In above code "@echo off" command intercepts any output to console (cmd window). If you'd like to keep track of output messages from reconnection process described above, I strongly suggest you to use output redirection to text file. Since DOS batch command are way out of scope in this post, if you need more informations regarding this topict, I advise you to check out this page or simply try Googling out something like "dos batch redirect text output".
Besides getting HideMyAss! VPN account for (JDownloader) reconnect, don't forget you can also use it to enjoy anonymous web surfing as well use other Internet services as p2p and unlock USA content abroad.

Note: I'm sorry, but regarding the privacy concerns nowadays, good and quality anonymity providing services aren't free anymore. Not that they don't exist, they just aren't free and just because of their free nature, free anonymity services nowadays just aren't capable of providing such level of features and most importantly speed. So if you're looking for a free solution please choose another resource.
