FYI, I'm doing the same thing. I have spent some time setting up a Chromebook "securely" (in theory), though mainly to access a Linux Terminal Server over a VPN.
First, are you using the built in Linux subsystem? When I bring up the ChromeOS terminal (ctrl-alt-T, not the linux subsystem), the crosh prompt does not have the ip or the ifconfig commands. However, when I look at my network connection (via the GUI), I'm seeing an IP in my network range. I went ahead and installed the Linux subsystem again (I'm spending a lot of time playing on it) and my IP for that is 10.115.92.205/28, so it looks like the Linux subsystem is using using some kind of virtual IP, similar to what virtlib does by default.
