See that xda link
There are only 2 dns entry fields, so for dns you can input your 2 values for open dns into those, but when you leave that screen you are back on a summary screen that shows all the advanced settings and there you see that dns line is reverted to
67.208.222.222.67.208.220.220.8.8.8. i.e. 3 sets
Posted the numbers from memory so they may be out of order but hopefully you get the idea.
Bottom line is that without a VPN, you cannot block sites by using a filtered DNS as the Google dns will allow them
The XDA developers link says there is no fix. The tablet will add Google dns to your DNS options, as an extra, 3rd option.
