  Configurational entropy has been revealed as a reliable method for
constraining some parameters of a given model [Phys. Rev. D \textbf{92} (2015)
126005, Eur. Phys. J. C \textbf{76} (2016) 100]. In this letter we calculate
the configurational entropy in Gauss-Bonnet braneworld models. Our results
restrict the range of acceptability of the Gauss-Bonnet scalar values. In this
way, the information theoretical measure in Gauss-Bonnet scenarios opens a new
window to probe situations where the additional parameters, responsible for the
Gauss-Bonnet sector, are arbitrary. We also show that such an approach is very
important in applications that include p and Dp-branes and various
superstring-motivated theories.
