Both those apps wouldn't work FYI. Otherwise, like the other guy says, you only need a gift card/credit card. No proxy/etc is needed.

How long ago did you do it? I only set up my US account a few months ago. Maybe they've tightened up since you did it.

Sky app
I tried to use my Sky app in Spain this summer (to catch up on some Sky channels) and it wouldnt let me as it knew i was outside the UK.

I'm neither great nor dumb at this stuff, but I think a VPN service gets you around that issue.
My issue is the opposite as I have a UK VPN, but to watch Sky need the Sky App and preferably a BBC iPlayer UK version from the UK App Store. That's what I need to figure out how to get.
