Hi, I want to setup a proxy server on my desktop and route my phone's internet traffic via my desktop. I want to do this because I have a VPN that can only work on one device at a time. So I'd like to connect to the VPN on my desktop and route my phone's internet via my desktop. Is it possible to achieve this? My phone and my desktop would be on the same network.

If the VPN service supports it, why not set up the connection on your router or firewall appliance? Doing this will allow you to stay within the rules of the VPN service provider versus doing what you are trying to do now.
