No problem, you clearly explained your intentions, the setup and the
configuration files, that really helps.

I assume you meant to cat Mint202 here, but I suspect that you have
Subnet=192.168.98.0/24 in hosts/Mint202 as well.

The Subnet statements should not contain the address range of the whole VPN,
but rather that part of the range that belongs to each individual node. So, you
should have Subnet=192.168.98.1 in hosts/webservices, and Subnet=192.168.98.2
in hosts/Mint202.

Other than that, your configuration looks fine, and you should not have to
change anything else.
