iThemes Security creates public nginx.conf file

Hello everyone!

iThemes Security created the file nginx.conf file in the wordpress main directory with this content:

# BEGIN iThemes Security - Do not modify or remove this line
# iThemes Security Config Details: 2
	# Protect System Files - Security > Settings > System Tweaks > System Files
	location = /wp-admin/install.php { deny all; }
	location = /nginx.conf { deny all; }
	location ~ /\.htaccess$ { deny all; }
	location ~ /readme\.html$ { deny all; }
	location ~ /readme\.txt$ { deny all; }
.....

I don’t think this config file works, so do I need to include it in my /etc/nginx/sites-available/domain.conf ?
